Astonishing Dark Matter Discovery Reveals Hidden Secrets Of The Universe

After nearly a century of experts theorizing and searching for the universe’s most elusive component, a Japanese astronomer believes he has finally captured the first direct glimpse of dark matter, a discovery that, if confirmed, could obviously reshape the entire field of physics.

According to Tomonori Totani, a professor at the University of Tokyo, whose analysis of fifteen years of observational data from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope points to an unexplained energy signature emanating from the heart of the Milky Way. Since its existence was first posited in the 1930s, the invisible scaffolding holding the cosmos together (a material that accounts for roughly 27% of the universe’s total mass-energy budget) has only ever been inferred through its gravitational effects, such as explaining why galaxies spin faster than their visible matter allows.

However, Totani’s work has revealed something tangible: a faint, halo-shaped excess of high-energy gamma ...
