DARK MATTER; JUST AS SCARY AS IT SEEMS
.............................................
Dark matter is very important to our universe. Besides being important it is also difficult to understand. To give you an understanding of this cosmic science, I will give you only basics. Let's get started! In cosmology and astronomy, dark matter is a hypothesized to explain the amount of missing mass in the universe. It can not be seen by our telescopes because it doesn't emits nor absorbs light. Thankfully we can see it due to it's gravitational effects on stars and other planets. Dark matter was first needed (realized) on account for the missing mass in star clusters and galaxies. The famous astronomers Jan Oort and Fritz Zwicky first theorized dark matters existence due to "missing mass" in stars and galaxies and orbital velocities of stars in our galaxy. It seems that Dark matter is made from an unknown sub-atomic particle. Although Dark matter is widely accepted in most scientific communities, there are a few other theories including MOND and TeVeS that try to explain what dark matter is account for. In our universe dark matter outnumbers regular matter almost three to one. -- The Brain
