Dark matter eat the universe Astrophysicists estimate that dark matter particles, whatever they are, outnumber ordinary matter by a factor of five to one, and it plays a key role in the structure of the universe. Its influence on gravity not only allowed stars and galaxies to form, it still holds them together, preventing them from flying apart. Without its specific density, the universe would have ddifferently evolved. A team of scientists has proposed a new explanation for the origin of this density of dark matter. The mechanism that they brought up for discussion by the scientific community is relatively simple and can be confirmed empirically, writes New Atlas (https://bit.ly/3F0Lv70). Many models suggest that dark matter was born from the primordial plasma of ordinary matter particles in the early universe. Next, the team of scientists follows the so-called freeze-in model - its essence is that at the beginning there was little dark matter, but the "hot bath" of ordinary or baryonic particles gradually created dark particles until they reached the density that we watching today. The reason is in the mechanism of self-regulation of space, namely expansion. At first, the amount of dark matter increased rapidly because ordinary matter was extremely dense. But as the Universe expanded, the "fuel" of the required density became less and less and the process slowed down. Recently, Czech astrophysicists have attracted (https://bit.ly/3H7TfWK) the attention of the scientific community by revising the hypothesis of modified Newtonian dynamics, which does not need the concept of dark matter to read them. Instead, they postulate the existence of an as-yet undiscovered gravitational force responsible for the CMB.
