Dark energy is also an area of intense interest for scientists, but it is not clear whether direct detection of dark energy will be possible.

Dark matter has never been detected in the laboratory, and the particle physics nature of dark matter remains completely unknown.

There are three prominent hypotheses on nonbaryonic dark matter, called Hot Dark Matter ( HDM ), Warm Dark Matter ( WDM ), and Cold Dark Matter ( CDM ); some combination of these is also possible.

The most widely discussed models for nonbaryonic dark matter are based on the Cold Dark Matter hypothesis, and the corresponding particle is most commonly assumed to be a weakly interacting massive particle ( WIMP ).

Dark bands in the absorption spectrum are due to the atoms in an intervening medium between source and observer, absorbing certain frequencies of the light between emitter and detector / eye, then emitting them in all directions, so that a dark band appears to the detector, due to the radiation scattered out of the beam.

Lovecraft ; most notably, Dimensional Shamblers appear as enemies, the " Spawn " enemies are called " Formless Spawn of Tsathoggua " in the manual, the end boss of the first episode is named Chthon, and the final boss is named Shub-Niggurath ( though actually resembling a Dark Young ).

Dark matter gravitates as ordinary matter, and thus works to slow the expansion of the universe ; by contrast, dark energy accelerates its expansion.

* Dark flow: Surveys of galaxy motions have detected a mystery dark flow towards an unseen mass.

Other strong allusions to The Lord of the Rings exist as well, particularly the incorporeal and invisible Dark Lord, the dark home realm of Mordor compared to Thakan ' dar ( as well as Shayol Ghul to the fiery pit of Mount Doom ).

# REDIRECT Dark matter

Dark matter cannot be seen directly with telescopes ; evidently it neither emits nor absorbs light or other electromagnetic radiation at any significant level.

Dark matter is estimated to constitute 84 % of the matter in the universe and 23 % of the mass-energy.

Dark matter came to the attention of astrophysicists due to discrepancies between the mass of large astronomical objects determined from their gravitational effects, and the mass calculated from the " luminous matter " they contain ; such as stars, gas and dust.

Dark matter's existence is inferred from gravitational effects on visible matter and gravitational lensing of background radiation, and was originally hypothesized to account for discrepancies between calculations of the mass of galaxies, clusters of galaxies and the entire universe made through dynamical and general relativistic means, and calculations based on the mass of the visible " luminous " matter these objects contain: stars and the gas and dust of the interstellar and intergalactic medium.

Dark matter plays a central role in state-of-the-art modeling of structure formation and galaxy evolution, and has measurable effects on the anisotropies observed in the cosmic microwave background.

Dark matter can explain the ' flat ' appearance of the velocity curve out to a large radius

Dark matter appears to account for around 90 % of the mass of most galaxies.

Dark matter, which would interact gravitationally but not electromagnetically, would account for the discrepancy.
