Why dark matter's mysteries persist after decades of searching

Salon  

One mile beneath a mountain in Italy, scientists at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory fill a particle detector with liquid xenon, hoping to observe evidence of dark matter. If dark matter is discovered through one of these experiments or another that hasn’t yet been dreamed up, it could essentially shed a light on an entire hidden universe that for now …

Dark matter is an enigmatic invisible substance supplying five-sixths of the matter of the universe. In 1922, Dutch astronomer Jacobus Kapteyn studied the motion of stars neighbouring the Sun and concluded the density of “dark matter” must be 0.0003 solar masses per cubic light year. Now, since we know the local density of dark matter, the value of the unknown …

Dark energy mystery is finally SOLVED - as scientists come up with a radical new theory to explain the mysterious force

Daily Mail  

Dark energy, one of the most mysterious concepts in astronomy, has baffled the world's greatest minds for decades. Lead author professor David Wiltshire says: 'Our findings show that we do not need dark energy to explain why the Universe appears to expand at an accelerating rate.' Scientists claim to have solved the mystery of dark energy by showing why we …

India Today  

New research co-led by the University at Buffalo proposes innovative methods to detect primordial black holes, theorised to have formed in the chaotic conditions of the early universe. Alternatively, a faster-moving primordial black holes might create straight tunnels through solid materials, potentially detectable with a microscope. The concept of primordial black holes stems from the early universe's rapid expansion post-Big …

Are tiny black holes zipping through our solar system? Scientists hope to find out

LA Times  

Scientists have studied black holes with the mass of a star for decades. Created just a split second after the Big Bang, these hypothetical black holes would whip quietly through the solar system roughly once every few years, traveling over a hundred times faster than a bullet. “It’s just fantastic that the most conceptually conservative response is to say, ‘It’s …

When wading into the murky realm of theoretical physics, one of the more difficult concepts for scientists to explain is that of dark matter. Those particles, they propose, aren’t lightweight at all and could come in all kinds of “species” — with their own “dark matter periodic table” of invisible elements, originally formed soon after the Big Bang after getting …
