Forbesflipped into InnovationThese Two Galaxies Can’t Both Exist Without Dark MatterForbes - Ethan Siegel, Starts With A BangOne of the most mysterious substances in the entire Universe is dark matter. Gravitationally, there’s much more mass in large structures than normal matter alone — even including the normal matter that doesn’t emit light — can explain. From individually rotating galaxies to groups and clusters of …

Woffordflipped into Quantum PhysicsDark matter warps galaxy clusters more than expected, shaking up cosmic theoryverified_publisherNational Geographic - Michael GreshkoThe leading model of how the universe is structured says the biggest clusters shouldn’t be as distorted as they appear through telescopes. Like humans, galaxies can’t stand to be alone. Nudged by gravity, galaxies tend to group together, and some even end up in the universe’s equivalent of bustling …

Forbesflipped into InnovationNASA’s Hubble Spots Galaxy Being Stripped Of Dark MatterForbes - Bruce DormineyDark matter theory has long been sacrosanct in mainstream astronomical circles. Rarely do astronomers contradict the tenet that some 85 percent of all matter in the cosmos is dominated by unseen matter that only weakly interacts with gravity. Thus, it came as a surprise that doubt was cast on its …
