In the dark network: galaxy without borders

A new study allows us to consider the enormous galaxies of the universe combined network of dark matter, which covers the entire universe.

It is well known that dark matter is five times as most of the universe than ordinary matter of which formed the stars, planets, nebulae, and everything else. While that is still unclear what exactly is dark matter is unknown and where it is located, as distributed over the universe.

To answer this question helps to light: we know that of all the fundamental interactions of dark matter comes from the normal only in the gravitational. Consequently, its presence can distort the trajectory of flying by the emission of photons. This effect of ... This is the way it was shown that 4.5% of ordinary matter in our Universe is 22 % dark matter. It is believed that it is the ...

Based on the effect of gravitational lensing, and worked as a team of Japanese researchers, led by this Masaki (Shogo Masaki). Scientists have summarized the data of modern observations that covered about 24 million distant galaxies, and using computer simulations examined the distribution of dark matter, which would accord with these data.

In this way, the authors found a very interesting fact is that dark matter exists in the universe is not simply in the form of some islands of the galaxies, but it stretches almost the entire space, so that clusters of smooth flow from one galaxy to another. So, the galaxies do not exist in isolation but as part of an enormous network structure, which was based on this dark matter. Network, which covers the entire universe.

Making the map the distribution of dark matter in the area of about 100 million light years in diameter, Japanese researchers have shown that this is a network in which the dark matter is distributed ...

Researchers concluded that the concept of intergalactic space is irrelevant. Galaxies have no definite boundaries beyond which would be millions of light years of extended vacuum. Galaxies are not separate from each other strictly and fully. Rather, they can be represented in the form of clusters, clusters of ordinary matter, arranged in the nodes of this enormous network of dark matter. Galaxy - only the ... If they are, these edges.
