Dark matter, Sometimescold dark matter, has been known for some time. Only recently have researchers come to understand the key role it formation of stars, planets and even people. We our very existence to dark matter, said physicist Paul Steinhardt and a co-author of a review on dark matter which not long ago in the journal Science. Dark matter dominated the structurein the early universe, Steinhardt said.For the first few billion years dark matter contained most of the mass of the universe You can think of ordinary matter a frothof an ocean of dark matter.The dark matter dumpsand the ordinary matter falls into it.That to the formation of the stars and galaxies. |
