I learned that Dark Matter is a really thing and not just cheesy a fiction! There were several displays in CERN explaining dark matter. We know it exists because the universe is expanding at a rate different than expected based on matter. We also know there was not equal dark matter to matter at the big bang because it did not cancel out and the universe exists! CERN uses the LHC (Large Haldron Collider) to study dark matter as well as other experiments.

That is really cool! Dark matter has left us so many questions about how much there is in the universe, and if we are able to artificially produce it.
ReplyDeleteIt’s crazy how things once thought of as science fiction can actually be real.
ReplyDeleteThis was a fascinating topic! One that if I am honest, I still do not completely understand. I loved how they discovered the presence of dark matter however, by observing its mass bend light around it. It is said that most of the universe is made up of this thing we don't quite understand.
ReplyDeleteSo much more to discover!
