Scientists at the Durham University have detected dark matter- the mysterious substance thought to make up 85 percent of the universe- for the first time. They have discovered a surge of high- energy particles from the heart of the Milky Way, the Earth’s home galaxy. It closely matches the radiation signature predicted for dark matter. Dark matter holds the key to the evolution of the universe but it has never been detected before.
The idea that visible matter, such as galaxies , stars and planets , is just a fraction of the universe’s mass , was first put forward in 1933.
