Just before the Big Bang an event may have produced the dark matter in the universe

Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) are working to confirm that dark matter in the universe was produced shortly before the Big Bang. Interesting Engineering publication wrote that in 1981 physicist Alan Guth proposed cosmic inflation. According to the theory, during the early moments of the universe, it expanded 1026 times within 10-36 seconds, eliminating all irregularities in its structure. So this is why despite so much vastness and constant expansion, the universe appears uniform and homogeneous. The researchers, developing the above theory, proposed that due to the rapid expansion, a thermal bath of energy arose, which at some point came to absolute equilibrium. This state “froze” some of the energy and then became dark matter after the Big Bang. What is dark matter Dark matter in astronomy and cosmology is a hypothetical type of matter that contributes […]
