Is Dark Matter a Viable Topic for a Senior Project?

[tasveerk]

Hello,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to be posting this question, but since it is related to school I hope it will do. I am currently a senior in high school and I am required to write an 8-10 page paper on a topic of my choosing. The main requirement is that I must argue a point throughout the essay. I am considering doing it on dark matter, but I am worried about whether or not I will be able to collect enough information to form a well written paper. I was thinking about basing my argument around the existence of dark matter or something similar to this. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

A google search turned up near 45 million hits on this topic. Many may be duplicates or inaccurate, but who's counting? While it is still a mystery as to what dark matter is, there is plenty written on the subject. You might also want to visit our Cosmology/Astrophysics sub-forum, where there is much information given by experts in this field. However, be sure you have some basic understanding of the Cosmos and dark matter before you attempt to write a paper on it...the subject is deep.
