There’s a New Theory About Where Dark Matter Is Hiding
Scientists have long been puzzled by the mysterious substance known as dark matter, which makes up about 27% of the universe, but cannot be directly observed. Now, a team of researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, has proposed a new theory about where dark matter might be hiding.
The researchers suggest that dark matter may be located in a thin disk-like structure that extends across the Milky Way galaxy. This disk of dark matter would be much denser than previously thought, and could explain why it has been so difficult to detect.
If this theory proves to be correct, it could have significant implications for our understanding of the universe and the nature of dark matter. Further research is needed to confirm the existence of this dark matter disk, but it provides an exciting new avenue for exploration in the field of astrophysics.
