unusual facts about Dark Matter



Canfranc Underground Laboratory

The laboratory is mainly devoted to study rarely occurring natural phenomena such as the interactions of neutrinos of cosmic origin or dark matter with atomic nuclei.

Draglade

He is unfortunately led astray by the temptation of Dark Matter.

EDELWEISS

EDELWEISS (Expérience pour DEtecter Les Wimps En Site Souterrain) is a dark matter search experiment located in the Modane Underground Laboratory.

Navarro–Frenk–White profile

The Navarro–Frenk–White profile or NFW profile is a spatial mass distribution of dark matter fitted to dark matter haloes identified in N-body simulations by Julio Navarro, Carlos Frenk and Simon White.

Stephen Baxter

Character development tends to take second place to the depiction of advanced theories and ideas, such as the true nature of the Great Attractor, naked singularities and the great battle between Baryonic and Dark Matter lifeforms.

Timothy M. P. Tait

Tim Tait (born May 29, 1971 in Owen Sound, Canada) is an American/Canadian particle physicist, specializing in theoretical physics, elementary particles and theories of dark matter.

University of Iowa shooting

Loosely based on Gang Lu's story, Chinese director Chen Shi-zheng made a feature film, Dark Matter, starring Liu Ye and Meryl Streep.

Virial theorem

Fritz Zwicky was the first to use the virial theorem to deduce the existence of unseen matter, which is now called dark matter.

Baryonic dark matter

Candidates for baryonic dark matter include non-luminous gas, Massive Astrophysical Compact Halo Objects (MACHOs: condensed objects such as black holes, neutron stars, white dwarfs, very faint stars, or non-luminous objects like planets), and brown dwarfs.

Biological dark matter

According to research by US virologist Nathan Wolfe, 20% of the genetic material in a typical human nasal swab is biological dark matter that cannot be attributed to any of the existing categories of living organisms on Earth.

Brahmapura


Narayana is also venerated as Para Brahman and therefore to pervade all the 14 lokas and the entire Brahmanda (Universe) which includes both manifested (planets, stars, galaxies, black holes, etc. which constitute 25% of the Universe) and unmanifested (the unknown dark matter which constitutes 75%) energy.

CRESST

Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers, a European collaboration in the search for dark matter

Cuspy halo problem

One approach to solving the cusp-core problem in galactic halos is to consider models that modify the nature of dark matter; theorists have considered warm, fuzzy, self-interacting, and meta-cold dark matter, among other possibilities.

Dark Room Notes

The band's debut album We Love You Dark Matter was nominated for the Choice Music Prize.

Jaan Einasto

Vera Rubin - her discovery of "flat rotation curves" is the most direct and robust evidence of dark matter.

Mass function

Halo mass function, a function that describes the mass distribution of dark matter halos

Navarro–Frenk–White profile

The NFW profile is an approximation to the equilibrium configuration of dark matter produced in simulations of collisionless dark matter particles by numerous groups of scientists.

Shelly Mars

Mars went on to appear in many more films, including Drop Dead Rock with Debbie Harry and Adam Ant, Jennie Livingston's Who's the Top?, Venus Boyz, Mary Harron's The Notorious Bettie Page and a documentary based on her own life, The Dark Matter of Mars.

Svalbard in fiction

Dark Matter, by Michelle Paver, is a ghost story set in 1937 in an isolated bay in Svalbard.

Tasha Reign

Reign announced the position while a guest on musician Dave Navarro's radio show, Dark Matter, citing her background in music appreciation courses at UCLA.
