A radical new theory suggests that black holes can transition into white holes that eject matter, light, and time back into ...

"We are able to measure the local dark matter density using direct acceleration measurements for the first time." Dark matter, widely known as the universe's most mysterious stuff, is rarer on ...

Scientists have been able to directly measure the density of dark matter in local space for the first time. The study found that a volume of space the size of Earth contains less than one kilogram of ...

Astrophysicists have long been intrigued by the possibility of dark stars-massive celestial objects fueled not by nuclear fusion but by the enigmatic energy of dark matter. Thanks to images taken by ...

Scientists estimate that less than 1 kilogram of dark matter exists in a volume equivalent to Earth’s size. Despite dark matter outweighing ordinary matter by a 5:1 ratio in the universe, its extreme ...
