Ask most astronomers, and they'll tell you that dark matter and dark energy make up more than 95 percent of the universe and that they are the explanations for many of the large-scale phenomena we ...

A new study argues that dark matter and dark energy might be illusions caused by the universe’s forces fading over time. For many years, scientists have thought that dark matter and dark energy make ...

A new theory published in the APS physicsjournal seeks to explain the origin and proliferation of dark matter through the introduction of a simple concept: what if dark matter can turn regular matter ...

It has been more than 50 years since astronomers first proposed “dark matter,” which is thought to be the most common form of matter in the universe. Despite this, we have no idea what it is — nobody ...
