  Nagoya, Japan (SPX) Aug 02, 2022 A collaboration led by scientists at Nagoya University in Japan has investigated the nature of dark matter surrounding galaxies seen as they were 12 billion years ago, billions of years further back in time than ever before. Their findings, published in Physical Review Letters, offer the tantalizing possibility that the fundamental rules of cosmology may differ when examining the early history of our universe. Seeing something that happened such a long time ago is difficult. Because of the finite ... read more |
