Scientists have mapped the distribution of galaxies and suspect that particles called "axions" make up dark matter.

    I don’t know if this helps but starting at roughly 39:00 of this Fermilabs lecture the lecturer mentions that lighter the dark matter particle is more wave like it behaves and so you have to imagine like a “fluid” of waves that can be macroscopic.

      Ok, I just gotta say that watching this type of talk here, puts my mind at rest that the Fediverse is going to be alright. That we are in the right place.

          We are the smart people from Reddit. Even if we don’t know everything, we know which way the wind is blowing.

              You still successfully figured out Lemmy which some of friends are either incapable of or unmotivated enough to do
