Fakta

The universe we observe with our naked eyes or through telescopes is only a fraction of the total cosmos. The rest of the universe, a vast portion, remains invisible and hidden from our view. This hidden matter is known as dark matter, dark energy, and other mysterious entities that make up the majority of the universe. Though we cannot directly observe these hidden components, their existence is inferred through indirect evidence, such as their gravitational effects on visible matter. The study of these hidden aspects of the universe is an ongoing effort to understand what makes up the majority of the cosmos.

One of the most significant mysteries in modern physics is the nature of dark matter. This form of matter doesn't emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it completely invisible to conventional instruments. Yet, its presence is essential for explaining the structure and behavior of galaxies. Without dark matter, galaxies would not have enough mass to hold themselves together. The gravitational influence of dark matter helps galaxies maintain their shape and stability, preventing them from being torn apart by their own rotational forces. Though we can't see dark matter, we can detect its effects on visible matter, such as the way galaxies rotate.

In addition to dark matter, dark energy is another invisible force that plays a crucial role in the universe. Dark energy is responsible for the accelerated expansion of the universe, a discovery that has stunned astronomers since the late 1990s. Unlike dark matter, which exerts a gravitational pull, dark energy pushes galaxies apart, counteracting the forces that would otherwise slow the expansion of the universe. This mysterious force is thought to make up about 68% of the universe's total energy density, yet little is known about its true nature. Understanding dark energy is one of the greatest challenges in modern cosmology.
