Black Matter
Black Matter is a term often confused with dark matter, which refers to a mysterious substance that makes up about 27% of the universe. Unlike ordinary matter, which forms stars, planets, and living beings, dark matter does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it invisible and detectable only through its gravitational effects on visible matter.
Scientists believe that dark matter plays a crucial role in the formation and structure of galaxies. It helps explain why galaxies rotate at the speeds they do and why they cluster together. Despite extensive research, the exact nature of dark matter remains one of the biggest mysteries in astrophysics.
