This book was released on 2019 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dark matter makes up the overwhelming majority of the matter in the Universe. Its complex structure and dynamics play an essential role in the evolution and formation of galaxies, stars, and ultimately, life itself. Although dark matter is a cornerstone of modern cosmology, the fundamental question of its identity remains unknown. Astrophysical studies have yielded many clues: it is likely an exotic new particle that is relatively massive, uncharged, stable to decays, and does not appear to obey any force other than gravity. Despite these hints, its exact particle identity remains elusive, and dark matter candidates abound.
