Is the dark matter mystery finally solved? Researchers come across exciting information

Experts, researchers and scientists, working around the theories of outer space, have often been intrigued by the mystery of dark matter as it does not interact with light and therefore, is invisible to the naked eye. It has not even been visible through high-end experimental devices too, but scientists still haven't given up believing that dark matter accounts for majority of matter in this universe. Will the dark matter mystery now get solved, amid all technological and scientific advancements taking place on the planet?

New dark matter breakthrough: Stephen Hawking's theories an important part of MIT's research

The famous 'Big Bang' theorist Stephen Hawking, too had his own set of suppositions and calculations around black holes and dark matter. However, now, using some of his calculations, researchers with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, have been able to bring back the theory of black holes and dark matter into the spotlight. Using a few theories and calculations, the researchers at MIT managed to potentially discover a very new type of exotic black hole, according to a report by CNN.

Black holes as dark matter candidates being taken more seriously, feel experts

If the theories around this latest research substantiate, almost fifty decades of mystery and efforts may see some light. One of the authors of the study claimed that this was a 'wonderful surprise', and Stephen Hawking's calculations around black holes were an integral part of the entire process.


The exotic black holes, potentially discovered, have the capacity to explain some facts around the dark matter problem, which would indeed be a giant leap, claim researchers. According to experts, black holes as candidates for dark matter is being taken far more seriously in the research world currently as compared to the scenario a few decades ago. Dark matter is one of those rare topics that have been treated as a rather uneven and complex factor, since it is otherwise undetectable, but now, things are slowly taking a turn.

FAQs:

Who is the theorist behind the Big Bang Theory?
Notable scientist and researcher Stephen Hawking is one of the pioneers and theorists behind the Big Bang theory, which sheds light on how our planet came into existence.

Is dark matter visible?
Dark matter does not interact with light and is therefore, not visible to the naked eye. It has also not been detected through scientific equipment yet.
