The first class consists of void finders that try to find empty regions of space based on local galaxy density. [28] The second class are those which try to find voids via the geometrical structures in the dark matter distribution as suggested by the galaxies. [29]
Timeline of cosmological theories ... matter particles in outer space. For example, in regions of high dark ... to prove that the particle discovered is, in fact ...
According to the Lambda-CDM model, by this stage, the matter in the universe is around 84.5% cold dark matter and 15.5% "ordinary" matter. There is overwhelming evidence that dark matter exists and dominates the universe, but since the exact nature of dark matter is still not understood, the Big Bang theory does not presently cover any stages ...
The results show that cold dark matter produces a reasonable match to observations, but hot dark matter does not. The sky at energies above 100 MeV observed by the Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) of the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) satellite (1991–2000). 1988 – The CfA2 Great Wall is discovered in the CfA2 redshift ...
Dark matter is called ‘dark’ because it’s invisible to us and does not measurably interact with anything other than gravity. It could be interspersed between the atoms that make up the Earth ...
The distribution of matter in the early universe was in clumps that consisted mostly of dark matter. These clumps interacted gravitationally, putting tidal torques on each other that acted to give them some angular momentum. As the baryonic matter cooled, it dissipated some energy and contracted toward the center. With angular momentum ...
c. 10 seconds: Universe dominated by photons of radiation – ordinary matter particles are coupled to light and radiation. In contrast, dark matter particles build non-linear structures as dark matter halos. [dubious – discuss] The universe becomes a super-hot glowing fog because charged electrons and protons hinder light emission.
5th century BC – Democritus proposes that the bright band in the night sky known as the Milky Way might consist of stars. 4th century BC – Aristotle believes the Milky Way to be caused by "the ignition of the fiery exhalation of some stars which were large, numerous and close together" and that the "ignition takes place in the upper part of the atmosphere, in the region of the world which ...
