femto poster DARK MATTER
Now available for download: the femto DARK MATTER poster
Dark matter is one of the greatest mysteries of physics. Observations and calculations of the movement of stars in galaxies show that there must be more matter in the universe than we can explain with the particles of matter we know today. In fact, dark matter should account for 85% of all matter in the universe. However, we currently do not know what the components of dark matter are. But we do know that it virtually does not interact with normal matter and is essentially invisible, hence the term "dark".
There are many theories that try to explain the nature of Dark Matter and the particles of which it could be composed. Our poster shows the different particle "candidates". That's what we imagine they look like. We'll only find out whether we're right once we find them.
Download it now, hang it up and memorise those particles!
