Dark matter is detected because it?

Dark matter can be detected because it got gravity.


Why do two dark matter particles collide?

Not much is known about dark matter. It is fairly certain that it does exist, but not much more is known. Thus, any ideas on what would happen when two dark matter particles meet seem very speculative.


Does dark matter or dark energy exist?

No, darkness does not exist. It is just the absence of light. Actually, I would argue that darkness DOES exist, although not in any material form, just as light exists, but not in any tangible way. If you turn out the light in a room, then you are surrounded in darkness; it is actually real for you, as in, something you must deal with in a practical way (you need to see to live) and so, does exist. As opposed to an imaginary friend, say, which does not have any physical effect on you, in the real world, as the absence of light does. No, darkness does not exist. It is the absence of light. Darkness can`t be measured Light can be measured and broken down. The Law of Physics.


The amount of dark matter in the universe important?

Yes it is important because on basis of dark matter amount our universe will expand.


Is Dark Matter good for building muscle?

Dark Matter has got nothing to do with building muscle! It's "stuff" that may not even exist!It's usually ok, just be careful of spontaneous black holes and blinking out of existence.Another view: If dark matter does exist and has the properties postulated by cosmologists, then it would be no good for building muscle. It interacts so weakly with ordinary matter that you would be unable to lift it - it would pass right through you.

What do you mean by dark matter?

Dark matter is matter that is inferred to exist from gravitational effects on visible matter and background radiation, but is undetectable by emitted or scattered electromagnetic radiation.


Do scientist think that dark matter and dark energy exist?

Yes, they do.


Does a shadow particle exist like the ones from his dark materials trilogy?

The shadow particles were dark matter. Dark matter is a hypothetical matter that explains why the universe is the size it is (essentially, the universe isn't expanding as fast as predicted and adding dark matter makes the predictions match reality). Very little is known about dark matter - it's called dark because it can't be seen. Because so little is known about dark matter, we can't actually say they aren't "particles of consciouness", but it is sadly unlikely.


How many people believe dark matter exists?

Dark Matter is required to exist because without it all galaxies would fly apart. In our Milky Way Galaxy Dark Matter accounts for 90% of the entire mass of the galaxy. Dark Matter is simply that, Dark. As it cannot be seen and has a very weak force. It only interacts with gravity.

What is the difference between dark energy and dark matter and what are the inferred affects of each?

From my studies dark energy creates electrical phtons making a stonger pull to the source than dark matter does. In fact, I think that dark energy can power a car, but sadly it is impossible to harness dark energy. I'll have to do little more research to be sure.


Why dark energy and matter does not obey standard physics and chemistry?

Standard physics and chemistry are based on the energy and matter that we know. We do not know much about dark energy or dark matter, but only that it may exist.


What is matter in the universe?

Dark matter is matter of an unknown type. It is known to exist, due to its gravitational influence, but it is not known what it is made of. There is at least 5 times as much dark matter than "normal" matter.


What is behind dark matter?

This is still a work in progress. Scientists are trying to answer this question. All we know is that it provides gravitational attraction, yet it can't be seen through any means. The presence of dark matter is inferred from the movements of matters that we can see, such as stars, galaxies, etc. But dark matter does not emit or reflect any light. This is the puzzle.


Why does philosophy have no general accepted definition?

What have Astronomers have been unable to prove that what exist?

'Dark matter' and 'dark energy' have not been observed or proven yet.
