Calebeano Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Do we have any way of taming or measuring the dark matter? If so what’s the simplest way to have it said? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so what’s the simplest way to have it said? I am not sure what taming dark matter means. We can measure the mass of dark matter by measuring its effect on a galaxies rotation (not sure how accurately). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjurer Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 It is measured by gravitational lensing existing where there are no gravitational bodies to account for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endy0816 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 We've also seen shadows cast by hydrogen that ends up gravitationally attracted to it. Like seeing the shadow of raindrops on a spider's web. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
