Exploring the Connection Between Dark Matter and Mars’ Wobble
A recent study suggests that dark matter may be driving a noticeable wobble in Mars’ orbit. This intriguing hypothesis, published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, presents a new perspective on the elusive nature of dark matter.
Understanding Dark Matter
Dark matter has captivated scientists since its first theoretical introduction in the 1930s by Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky. This mysterious form of matter is fundamentally different from visible matter; it emits no light or energy, making it imperceptible to the human eye.
Approximately a quarter of the universe’s mass comprises dark matter, as inferred from its gravitational impact on nearby celestial bodies. Additionally, researchers believe that dark matter consists of primordial black holes—tiny, dense remnants formed mere seconds after the Big Bang.
What Are Primordial Black Holes?
Unlike conventional black holes that form from the collapse of massive stars, primordial black holes arose from fluctuations in dense gas regions during the universe’s initial moments. These black holes can be as small as an atom yet possess masses thousands of times greater than that of our Sun.
