Dark Matter Origin Linked to High-Energy Particle Collisions in Early Universe
Los Angeles CA (SPX) May 15, 2025
A new theory from Dartmouth College researchers suggests that dark matter, the elusive substance making up most of the universe's mass, may have originated from the rapid transformation of fast-moving, nearly massless particles in the early universe. Published in Physical Review Letters, the study posits that dark matter formed when these particles, initially moving at relativistic speeds,
