The focus of this page is Dark Matter, a mysterious form of matter that may fortell the fait of the universe. This page will present information on areas of cosmology, astrophysics, and astronomy. Here you will find links to the most modern and interesting links covering these exciting fields of science. During the past twenty years, theory and observation alike have indicated that at least ninety percent, and as much as ninety-nine percent of the mass of the universe is dark.
Dark matter is a form of matter that neither emits or absorbs light.
It does not take the form of a point mass, but rather a halo. Hot refers to a relatively high average kinetic energy of the constituent particles of the matter. Cold would then refer to a relatively low kinetic energy of the constituent particles of the matter. Dark matter could be either baryonic or non-baryonic. Non-baryons include neutrinos, a tiny particle that undergoes very weak reactions and is therefore hard to detect.
