NEW DELHI: Scientists have put forward a theory that dark matter might actually be an alternate universe . In a recent study quoted by Daily Express, Dr Arushi Bodas and his team at the University of Chicago’s Enrico Fermi Institute suggest that dark matter could be seen as a distorted parallel universe that never fully developed. Dark matter has always been a mysterious concept. Despite making up more than 80% of all matter in the universe, scientists have never directly observed it. Its existence is inferred from the behavior of stars, planets, and galaxies , which would be impossible to explain without the presence of dark matter. The problem is that dark matter is completely imperceptible – it emits no light or energy and cannot be detected using conventional sensors and detectors. The composition of dark matter is still speculative. While visible matter, also known as baryonic matter, is made up of subatomic particles called baryons (such as protons, neutrons, an...
