Scientists think they have accidentally found dark matter

Did scientists discover dark matter, one of the mysteries of the universe?

The vast universe still hides hundreds of thousands of secrets. For decades, we still know that in addition to the things we can see with our naked eyes, there are still things hidden behind the cold darkness above. Until now, the mysterious veil surrounding what is called " dark matter" has not been removed by scientists.

Most matter in the universe is invisible to us. Everything we can see and touch is made of matter, but "dark matter" is not the same, they do not react to light and scientists think they are probably "clinging". Keep " the galaxies together.

A recent emerging hypothesis: dark matter is the giant black hole that surrounds galaxies, reaching out into long rays that cross those galaxies together in the universe.

Physicists from John Hopkins University believe that the recent discovery of gravitational waves has added evidence to the relationship between dark matter and black holes. The black holes discovered by the Ligo astronomical system are large enough to make a primitive black hole ( primitive black holes are not made by a star / dead planet, they are made of matter with extremely dense density, from the beginning of the universe). That may partly explain the mysterious dark matter.

"We do not claim that this is a dark matter , " Professor Marc Kamionkowski announced, "Nothing is certain. But more or less this is still a well-grounded argument."

Last September, Ligo observed two black holes weighing 30 suns, collided and merged into a black hole about 60 times the size of the sun. The size of these black holes suggests that they can be made from the death of giant stars, or that they are primitive black holes created from the Big Bang.

Another interesting thing is, these constantly detected gravitational waves can signal that in this universe collisions are a "meal".

The discovery of gravitational waves may lead to dark matter.

"If there were 30 cases like this, there must be a reasonable answer," said physicist and astronomer Ely D. Kovetz. "The discovery of gravitational waves can lead to dark matter. A lot of possibilities are opened with this extremely important discovery."

But more research and analysis is still needed to confirm the nature of dark matter. This hypothesis, if proven to be true, will answer our question of dark matter, which has been bothering scientists for years.
