Despite the fact that science has not yet proven the existence of a dark mother, scientists suggest that in our
What is known
Researchers have developed algorithms thatwill allow to find planets from a mysterious substance. They are based on the assumption that the interaction of a star and a planet from a dark matter will be different from the command of a star and an ordinary exoplanet.
Scientists believe that clumps of dark matter can have a planetary mass. In this case, they will behave like dark exoplanets.
At present, there are many wayswhich make it possible to determine the radius and mass of exoplanets, even if they are very far from us. The researchers suggest that if they manage to detect a planet consisting of dark matter, then their calculations will show unusual results, hinting at other physics. For example, the density will be higher than that of iron.
Over decades of studying the Universe, scientists have been able to discover many exoplanets with different characteristics. However, so far they have not been able to detect anything that would go beyond the scope of physics.
