Physicists That Study Dark Matter?

AI Thread Summary
A career in physics focused on dark matter can involve several specializations. Astrophysicists study dark matter in the context of the universe's structure and evolution, while particle physicists investigate its fundamental properties and interactions at a subatomic level. Both fields contribute to understanding dark matter, making them key areas for anyone interested in this topic.

Hi. I've been looking into a possible career in physics once I graduate high school, and I was wondering which types of physicists study dark matter? I have heard astrophysicists do, but are there any others?

Sorry if this question is in the wrong place, I've never posted anything before.

Thanks!

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
