A New Study Has Provided The First Evidence Of ‘Dark Matter Heating’ And The Movement Of Dark Matter

A New Study Has Provided The First Evidence Of ‘Dark Matter Heating’ And The Movement Of Dark Matter

Scientists have finally found proof that once dark matter has been heated up, it can move around — and that this occurs because of stars that are being forged within galaxies. In a new study, scientists successfully demonstrated how they have observed something known as “dark matter heating,” while also providing further details about the […]

A Bold New Study Suggests Our Universe May Be Partnered With And Mirror An Antimatter Universe

A Bold New Study Suggests Our Universe May Be Partnered With And Mirror An Antimatter Universe

In the fascinating and ever-changing world of physics, things are always evolving, and now a new study has suggested that our universe may be partnered with a mirror universe which, in this case, could be an antimatter universe. This antimatter universe may also be heading backwards to a time that existed before the Big Bang, […]

New Study On Dwarf Galaxies Raises More Questions Than Answers Regarding Dark Matter Model

New Study On Dwarf Galaxies Raises More Questions Than Answers Regarding Dark Matter Model

Scientists are baffled by new observations from 13 million light-years away, where a group of satellites, or dwarf galaxies, orbits the much larger elliptical galaxy Centaurus A. And while this isn’t a particularly unique phenomenon, what’s struck scientists as peculiar is how the satellites’ movements do not seem to mesh with existing theories about dark […]
