Five-sixths of the universe’s stuff seems to be missing, and we just can’t find it. It’s called “dark matter,” and scientists have gone looking for it

A figure grasps their head as they are engulfed by a swirling vortex of darkness. The golden flecks within the shadows hint at memories or fragments of light, but they are quickly swallowed by the void. This piece symbolizes the overwhelming power of despair, where one's sense of self is at risk of being consumed by the echoes of oblivion.

Artist rendering of a small, zoomed-in section of the hypothesized cosmic web showing superclusters of galaxies with smaller clusters moving towards the superclusters via filaments in the web. General Relativity physicists say the filaments are created by connecting dark matter. Electric/Plasma physicists say it's cosmic electric currents that flow throughout the universe connecting everything together from galaxies to atoms and subatomic particles.

If proven true, dark matter “axions” would be far smaller than electrons and even neutrinos.

Dark matter is an invisible form of matter that has mass. It does not emit or absorb heat, light, or any other electromagnetic waves. Also, it “weakly” interacts with ordinary matter, making it even more stealthy. Of all the branches of science, one of the most popular is astronomy, and for good reason. Who on Earth has ever wondered about twinkling stars, the shining Moon, and the occasional meteors that light up our night sky! Since the invention of the telescope, our curiosity about the…

The mysterious stuff thought to bind galaxies together may be more complex than we thought – and now we are starting to tease apart the possibilities, says Stuart Clark
