Could Dark Energy Be Made of Particles? Exploring Quintessence
Dark energy is different than dark matter. They are both labeled dark because we don’t know what they are. Dark matter does not absorb, reflect or emit any light. It is inferred to exist only because of its gravitational effect on...

Could Dark Matter Be Hidden Inside Exoplanets?
Dark Matter may be detected via Exoplanets. All the matter that is visible to us constitutes only about 18% of the total matter that we think actually exists in the universe. We know this because when all the known mass of a galaxy like...
