Dark Matter May Have Existed before Big Bang

by...Bot summary I think...


Quote:“If dark matter consists of new particles that were born before the Big Bang, they affect the way galaxies are distributed in the sky in a unique way. This connection may be used to reveal their identity and make conclusions about the times before the Big Bang too.”

While not much is known about its origins, scientists have shown that dark matter plays a crucial role in the formation of galaxies and galaxy clusters.

For a long time, they believed that it must be a leftover substance from the Big Bang.

“If dark matter were truly a remnant of the Big Bang, then in many cases researchers should have seen a direct signal of dark matter in different particle physics experiments already,” Dr. Tenkanen said.
'Historically, we may regard materialism as a system of dogma set up to combat orthodox dogma...Accordingly we find that, as ancient orthodoxies disintegrate, materialism more and more gives way to scepticism.'
