Dark matter gives scientists $ 500,000

4 scientists have discovered the existence of dark matter. With this discovery, scientists will receive a prize worth $ 500,000.

Previously, scientists thought dark matter existed around us, but they had not seen it, touched it or realized what it was.

A spooky ring of dark matter floating in galaxy cluster ZwCl0024 1652, one of the evidences of the existence of dark matter.Astronomers believe that dark matter rings have been produced from a collision between two giant clusters.

Astronomers Marc Davis, University of California, Berkeley; George Efstathiou - director of the Kavli space institute, Cambridge (England); Carlos Frenk - director of Durham University's Computing Space Institute; and Simon White - director of the Max Planck Astrophysics Institute in Garching (Germany) discovered this matter. They will receive a prize of $ 500,000 - a prestigious space award from the Peter and Patricia Gruber Foundation.

Over the past 20 years, researchers have created important simulations on computers to find the distribution of matter in the universe.

Scientists have performed large operations to simulate billions of years of evolutionary galaxies, and show that a specific type of dark matter - slow moving particles is called cool dark matter, which can produce Exporting visible blocks, fibers and spaces in space.

Peter and Patricia Gruber Foundation said: ' Nobody knows what dark matter or dark energy is. Currently, observations and theories show that the universe consists of 4.6% of ordinary matter, 23.3% of dark matter and 72.1% of dark energy. The simulation of numbers (according to the DEFW program) has shown that the universe has many strange components that are close to the structures of objects that we see around. '
