The Invisible Force Shaping the Universe: The Mystery of Dark Matter

Dark matter remains one of the most perplexing and intriguing topics in modern astrophysics. Despite its elusive and invisible nature, scientists have deduced that dark matter constitutes around 27% of the universe’s total massenergy content. While it neither emits, absorbs, nor reflects light, its gravitational effects are farreaching, influencing the behavior of galaxies and the structure of the cosmos. In this blog, we will delve into the mysteries of dark matter, its significance in our universe, the theories surrounding its existence, and the methods scientists are using to uncover its secrets.

The Elusive Nature of Dark Matter
Unlike ordinary matter, which interacts with electromagnetic radiation (light) and can be detected through various instruments, dark matter remains undetectable by traditional means. It does not emit or reflect light, which makes it invisible to telescopes, leaving only its gravitational influence on visible matter to serve as a clue to its presence. This stark contrast between
