Is the Ring of Dark Matter Composed of the Same Material as Dark Matter?

[Arowana]

hi

and yes i have read all other threads and news about the discovery of ring of dark matter.

i was just wondering would the ring of dark matter would consist of the same composition (materials, matter etc)?

because i was just wondering...if the collision of 2 galaxies clusters and cause a ripple of dark matter showing the ring ..wouldn't that ring is make up of the same stuff as dark matter.. like ripple of water in a pond...that ripple ring is still water right??


any idea??

and sorry, for jibburishing.. i just type what comes out of my head. because i am very lost and confuse LOL.

It is very likely that the ring of dark matter would be made up of the same constituents as dark matter in general. Dark matter is still a largely mysterious substance, so it is hard to say exactly what it is made up of. However, some theories suggest it could be composed of particles beyond the Standard Model of particle physics such as weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) or axions.

Hello! It's great to hear that you have been keeping up with the news about the discovery of the ring of dark matter. To answer your question, the ring of dark matter is believed to be made up of the same composition as dark matter in general. This is because dark matter is thought to be a type of matter that does not interact with light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation, making it difficult for us to directly observe or detect it. So, the ring of dark matter would likely have the same properties as dark matter in general.

Your analogy of the ripple in a pond is a good one. Just like how the ripple in the pond is still made up of water, the ring of dark matter is still made up of dark matter particles. However, it is important to note that dark matter is still a mystery and scientists are still trying to understand its exact composition and properties. So while the ring of dark matter may be made up of the same stuff as dark matter, we cannot say for sure until we have more evidence and understanding of this elusive substance.

Don't worry about being confused or lost, dark matter is a complex and fascinating topic that even scientists are still trying to fully grasp. Keep asking questions and exploring, that's how we learn and make discoveries!
