The Existence Of Dark Matter

1365 Words3 Pages

Dark matter has been argued about for a long time about whether it helps or not helps the universe. The universe is mostly made up of dark energy at 71.4%, dark matter at 24%, and atoms a 4.6%. These are the statistics made about the composition of the universe. However, these statistics were not always none. Einstein himself said that the universe was static, that the universe was neither contracting or expanding. When the Russian Mathematician, Edwin Powell Hubble, proved him wrong, Einstein said it was his -greatest mistake-. However, the term Einstein used to explain the universe, the Greek letter lambda Λ), is still used today, but in a different way than he meant it to. It now is used as the term to describe the rate of expansion in the …show more content…

The idea that dark matter exists becomes very more realistic when things such as this are occurring. Dark matter is thought to be a bit like a alternate gravitational force that keeps objects in space, galaxies for example, all together. The nature of dark matter, however, is unknown. There is a number of theories, of course, for example: Brown Dwarfs, Supermassive black holes, and new forms of matter are all speculated as the nature of dark matter. The elemental composition of our universe has changed drastically over the last few Eons. New forms of matter discovered by particle physicists, scientists who work to understand the forces of nature and the composition of matter, have theorized that there are new forces and new types of particles. One of the main reasons for the construction of "supercolliders" is to try to create dark matter in a lab. Since the universe was very dense and hot at the beginning of the Big Bang, the universe itself was basically a particle …show more content…

In particular, measurement of the number of normal isotope, which is when each of 2 or more forms of the same element containing equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, and hence separate the atomic mass but not in chemical properties; in particular, a radioactive form of an element, of hydrogen to its heavier isotope known as deuterium, a stable isotope, provides important insight into inside of nucleosynthesis. All other elements heavier than lithium are made by stars experiencing nuclear reactions and during powerful supernova explosions. With a couple of exceptions, we have a small, but better, understanding of how a star is created, as it converts elements into heavier elements. These heavy elements are spread into the Universe by stellar winds and supernova explosions. However, we need to understand just where and when the chemical evolution happens during the lifetime of a typical galaxy, and if our technology is good enough in its current state to predict the observations. Studying radiation due to the decay of the products, nucleosynthesis provides direct info about the synthesis of
