New map of dark matter strengthens Einstein's general theory of relativity

In the early 1900s, scientist Albert Einstein proposed his theory of general relativity, challenging everything scientists believed they understood about the universe.

For years, scientists have questioned whether this theory is true. However, a recently created map of dark matter has finally provided undeniable evidence.

We must first look at Einstein's original theory to fully understand this development. That is, before he came up with general relativity, scientists believed that the universe was largely unchanged.

Furthermore, they assumed that time passed at its own rate, regardless of the clocks that had been created to attempt to measure time as Isaac Newton had proposed two centuries earlier.

However, Einstein argued that both space and time are a force, space-time , and that matter in this ever-changing phase is controlled by the curve determined by gravity.

But to create gravity, we need mass, a force so strong that it literally warps the space-time around it. This is where dark matter comes into play.

Dark matter is an invisible force in our universe. Scientists believe it is the force that creates gravity and determines how the universe curves and moves, but we have never been able to map dark matter.

Despite making up 85% of the universe's matter, dark matter is difficult to detect . We can see its effects, but mapping it and actually seeing where it exists is nearly impossible.

But now, researchers using the Atacama Large Hadron Collider have done just that. They used light from the cosmic microwave background to detect all the matter between us and the light from the Big Bang, and with it they have created a map of the dark matter hidden in the universe.

And the image shows that dark matter lies at the very origin of previous physical theories that scientists have proposed .

Now we have a map of dark matter in our universe, and we can finally prove once again that Einstein's theory is correct, a theory that others can only help develop and clarify further, not challenge.
