Harvard astronomers claim that the Milky Way's warped shape is due to an unbalanced halo of dark matter. This claim supports theories of a previous galactic collision and provides insights into the nature of dark matter. Credit: Stefan Payne-Wardenaar; Magellanic Clouds: Robert Gendler/ESO

Researchers from Germany: dark matter and the problem of hierarchy explained with the help of a fifth dimension

  • 31 תגובות
Researchers around the world are looking for an explanation for the mystery of dark matter and the problem of hierarchy. The two problems seem completely different, but according to researchers from Johns Gutenberg University in Germany, both can be solved with the help of a compact fifth dimension. The estimated model does not contradict the experimental data discovered in current accelerators and predicts a new particle with a mass of 30TeV that may be discovered in future accelerators
