Astronomers Say We Cannot See Through the Universe’s Clusters
A new study claims to have found evidence that the Universe is composed of a “web” of dark matter, which is preventing the formation of stars.
The Universe is so big that it would be impossible for smaller-sized cluster to have formed, and a smaller cluster would therefore not be able to form if there was not a web for it to form through. The astronomers say that if this is true then it means that the web is much more massive than we previously thought, thereby furthering the argument that our galaxy and the rest of the Universe are actually made up of many smaller web like clusters. Now, as exciting as all this is, scientists aren’t quite ready to make any pronouncements on the nature of these clusters, or what they mean for our knowledge of the cosmos.
This will probably be one of the biggest areas of research for the next several years, so get ready for some exciting observations!
There is a small problem for all of us; we can not observe the majority of the Universe, and therefore we cannot make up the percentage of the galaxies in the cosmos. In physics, we learn that a system with a minuscule amount of matter can produce an explosion of energy. It’s the same for the other elements of a…
