SUMMARY
Recent discussions confirm that dark matter fills what has traditionally been considered empty space in the universe. Research from Penn cosmologists indicates that intergalactic space is permeated by dark matter, resolving the long-standing mystery of its distribution. The concept of "deformation of continuous media" is introduced, suggesting that the interaction between baryonic matter and dark matter can be viewed as a physical manifestation of curved spacetime. This understanding challenges previous notions of empty space and emphasizes the pervasive role of dark matter in cosmic structures.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of dark matter and its role in cosmology
- Familiarity with Einstein's theory of gravitational fields
- Knowledge of the equation of state in cosmology
- Basic principles of gravitational lensing and its implications
- Research the implications of dark matter on gravitational lensing effects
- Explore the concept of "deformation of continuous media" in cosmological contexts
- Study the latest findings on the Milky Way's dark matter halo and its asymmetry
- Investigate the relationship between dark matter distribution and cosmic structure formation
Astronomers, cosmologists, and physicists interested in the nature of dark matter and its influence on the universe's structure will benefit from this discussion.
