27% of Universe is Dark Matter

Dark matter makes up 27% of the universe, yet we've never directly detected a single particle. The evidence for its existence began accumulating in the early 20th century with the work of astronomer Fritz Zwicky, and later Vera Rubin and Kent Ford, who observed galaxies moving at speeds that couldn't be explained by their visible mass. This missing mass, or dark matter, exerts a profound influence over galactic dynamics, shaping the cosmic web itself. #ForbiddenVoids #Space #Science #Mystery #DarkUniverse
