Researchers Observe Dark Matter that Confirms Origin, Evolution of Universe

To date, over 50% of the matter in the universe has remained invisible to human beings. But astrophysicists had a notion where it might be located: In supposed filaments, incomprehensibly huge thread-like structures of hot gas surrounding and connecting galaxies and clusters of galaxies.

'Modified Gravity' Offers a Viable Explanation for Cosmological Dilemma

An international research team has recently published a study challenging that a rival concept to the well-known hypothesis of dark matter can more precisely estimate a galactic phenomenon that seems to defy the traditional rules of gravity.
