How do scientists hunt for dark matter? A physicist explains why the mysterious substance is so hard to find
How do scientists hunt for dark matter? A physicist explains why the mysterious substance is so hard to find Scientists are unable to directly observe dark matter due to its “dark” nature, meaning it doesn’t interact with light in any way. The existence of dark matter was first proposed by Fritz Zwicky in the Coma […]
