Collapsing Sheets of Spacetime Could Explain Dark Matter and Why the Universe Hums'
Hypothetical domain walls may have formed after the big bang, creating a background of ripples in spacetime and possibly small black holes as dark matter. [ more ]
NASA releases free e-book on Hubble space mysteries
NASA released a free e-book 'Hubble Focus: The Dark Universe' exploring dark matter and dark energy learnings from the Hubble Space Telescope missions. [ more ]
Simulations reveal the hidden behaviors of dark matter
A new theory suggests that colder dark matter moved at slow velocities while standard matter streamed past it at supersonic speeds, leading to the formation of small, bright galaxies earlier than previously thought.
The presence of small, bright galaxies in the early universe would confirm the cold dark matter model, as only the velocity between two types of matter can produce this type of galaxy. [ more ]
How supernovae are helping uncover the mysteries of dark energy
Only 5 percent of the universe is made up of visible matter, while 27 percent is dark matter and 68 percent is dark energy.
Scientists are studying the mysteries of dark energy by analyzing data from the Dark Energy Survey, focusing on Type 1a supernovae to measure the expansion of the universe. [ more ]
Physicists Suggest Universe Is Full of Material Moving Faster Than Light
Tachyons as potential faster-than-light particles challenge current cosmological models, with implications for explaining dark matter and universe's expansion. [ more ]

China's New Dark Matter Lab Is Biggest and Deepest Yet
The China Jinping Underground Laboratory (CJPL) is the world's deepest and largest underground laboratory, now surpassing the previous record-holder in Italy.
Scientists at CJPL are conducting experiments to detect dark matter, the substance that makes up over 80% of the mass in the Universe. [ more ]
Hubble Snaps Alarming Pic of Two Galaxies Crashing Into Each Other
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of two massive galaxies colliding with each other.
This collision, known as 'Arp 122,' could eventually form a singular structure of dust, gas, and dark matter in hundreds of millions of years. [ more ]
