Unveiling the Invisible: How Scientists Are Getting Closer to Understanding Dark Matter
For decades, scientists have known that most of the universe is made up of something we can't see — something mysterious, invisible, and powerful. This elusive ingredient is called dark matter, and it makes up about 27% of the universe, compared to just 5% made of ordinary matter like stars, planets, and people. Despite being all around us, dark matter doesn’t emit, reflect, or absorb light, making it impossible to detect directly with traditional telescopes.
