Abstract |
Around the space we are hunting for dark matter & dark energy. Dark matter is the component which have no mass & completely invisible. It no emit any light or energy. So it cannot be detected by any sensor & detector. But some time it may be detected by its gravitational effect. But some scientist have adopted a. different approach & aiming to detect dark matter in their lab. In theory some amount of energy should be released when dark matter particle collide with a nucleus. Here we talking about the invisible matter , also called spin half particle & baryonic matter, consists of baryon ( ex. Electrons, protons, neutrons) . So a model with different parameters such as density of atoms, density of matter, the magnitude. Dark energy is the property of space which consist empty space. So both the Dark matter & Dark energy both require extensions to understanding the nuclear and particle physics. Some Astrophysicists have their own theory about dark matter. They think that it might be WIMP ( weakly interacting massive particles ) that interact with the nuclei of normal matter, but certainly exert a gravitational influence. Or dark matter also might be much bigger MACHO (massive compact halo objects), like non-light emitting black holes and dark neutrons stars.

Introduction |
When we see at the Galaxies, then we don’t see that how enough matter is required to hold the galaxies together. The only thing we can assume for this togetherness is Gravity & gravity has mass & Mass provide matter. So we can say that these all things are connected to each other. So we can assume that it’s a form of matter, & because we can’t see it so we call it Dark Matter. The dark energy is repulsive force which has 70% dominant component of the universe. The remaining part of the universe consists of ordinary matter & dark matter. Albert Einstein was the first scientist who hypothesized the term cosmic repulsive force & the term cosmological constant. But after the discovery in 1920, found that the universe is not static but it is expending. In other words we can say that the dark energy is that it is property of space. Albert Einstein realize that empty space is nothing . Space has many properties . the first one is that dark energy possible for more space to come into existence. The other one is “ Empty space” can possess its own energy. Because this energy is property of space itself. As much more space comes into existence, then more of this energy of space would appear. So above the theory we say, this form of energy is cause the expend of the universe faster and faster.

Analysis | Currently, the only way dark matter can be observed
is by looking for the effects of its gravitational pull on other matter and
light. The intense gravitational field it produces can cause light to distort
and bend over large distances – an effect known as gravitational lensing. By mapping the dark matter in distant parts of the
cosmos, scientists can work out how much dark matter clustering there is
– and in principle how that clustering is being affected by dark energy. The link between gravitational lensing and dark
matter clustering is not straightforward, however. To interpret the data from
telescopes, scientists must refer to detailed cosmological models –
mathematical representations of complex systems. Dark Matter Dark matter
self does not emit light, and does also not interact with light, more exotic
particles like axions. Dark matter is a form of matter postulated to exist
in the field of astronomy and cosmology. Scientists know that dark matter
behaves differently than ordinary matter, such as planets, stars and galaxies
(this matter is classified as baryonic matter and its most fundamental unit is
an atom). For instance, dark matter, unlike normal matter, does not interact
with electromagnetic energy. So, it neither emits nor absorbs electromagnetic
radiation at any level making it difficult to spot. Its existence is inferred
only from the gravitational effect it has on observable matter. Dark matter is
about 22% of the cosmic energy density, as it seems to outweigh visible matter
approximately five to one. Normal matter accounts for around 4%. According to
computer simulations, dark matter could be everywhere; hence, the Earth could
be encountering a mass of dark matter particles as it revolves around the sun. Although most scientists accept the existence of
dark matter, no one knows the true nature of dark matter. Dark matter are
divided into two broad categories, one is baryonic and other is non-baryonic.
Baryonic candidates considered include Massive compact halo objects.. Apart from space telescopes, gravitational lensing
is a technique used to detect the presence of Machos. Albert Einstein (1919)
had proved that gravity bends light rays (gravity curves spacetime, and the
path of any passing radiation including visible light would be deflected, as a
result). He predicted that if a star lined directly behind the sun, the
gravitational field of the sun would bend light rays from the star towards an
observer. As a consequence of lensing light rays, an observer can observe an
image or images of the star. When a black hole passes between a galaxy or star
and an observer on the Earth, gravitational lensing occurs and astronomers can
deduce the presence of a Macho. Circling stars could also suggest the presence
of a Macho object such as a black hole. Black holes have a gravitational
influence on objects surrounding them. Thus, when scientists see stars circling
something invisible, they suspect a black hole. In early 1995, a team of
Japanese and American astronomers announced the existence of a massive black
hole with a mass 36 million times that of our sun. Although the announcement
was significant in its own way, research has not turned up enough Machos to
account for all the dark matter in the universe. In an effort to explain dark
matter, particle physicists theorize the existence of non-baryonic particles
that rarely interact with ordinary matter. The leading candidates for these
particles include Weakly Interactive Massive Particles (WIMPs) (Panek, 2011).
These yet to be discovered particles are thought to have mass, but they
interact so weakly with ordinary matter that they are hard to detect. Particle
physicists argue that if these particles interacted with ordinary matter,
detectable radiations could be emitted. Such interactions, however, are
extremely rare. Some of these particles include Axions, Photinos. Most
scientists concede that both non-baryonic WIMPs and baryonic MACHOs could make
up dark matter. Dark Energy More is unknown than is known. We know how much dark
energy there is because we know how it affects the universe's expansion. Other
than that, it is a complete mystery. But it is an important mystery. It turns
out that 20%of the universe is dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 27%. The
rest - everything on Earth, everything ever observed with all of our
instruments, all normal matter - adds up to less than 5% of the universe. Come
to think of it, maybe it shouldn't be called "normal" matter at all,
since it is such a small fraction of the universe. One explanation for dark
energy is that it is a property of space. Albert Einstein was the first person
to realize that empty space is not nothing. Space has amazing properties, many
of which are just beginning to be understood. The first property that Einstein
discovered is that it is possible for more space to come into existence. Then
one version of Einstein's gravity theory, the version that contains makes
a second prediction: "empty space" can possess its own energy.
Because this energy is a property of space itself, it would not be diluted as
space expands. As more space comes into existence, more of this energy-of-space
would appear. As a result, this form of energy would cause the universe to
expand faster and faster. Unfortunately, no one understands why the
cosmological constant should even be there, much less why it would have exactly
the right value to cause the observed acceleration of the universe. Another explanation for dark energy is that it is a
new kind of dynamical energy fluid or field, something that fills all of space
but something whose effect on the expansion of the universe is the opposite of
that of matter and normal energy. Some theorists have named this
"quintessence," after the fifth element of the Greek philosophers. But,
if quintessence is the answer, we still don't know what it is like, what it
interacts with, or why it exists. So the mystery continues. The thing that is needed to decide between dark
energy possibilities - a property of space, a new dynamic fluid, or a new
theory of gravity - is more data, better data. Dark energy is a mysterious force, mostly thought
as a repulsive force that accelerates the expansion of the universe. Over the
years, theorists have suggested a number of possibilities to calculate dark
energy. Many theories, however, do not pass stringent local tests, and if they
pass, they fail to apply a metric structure to energy momentum conservation or
gravity. The cosmological constant, regarded as vacuum energy density, is the
most preferred candidate for dark energy. If cosmological constant originates
from vacuum fluctuations, its energy scale is incredibly larger than the
current dark energy density. Hence, this energy scale needs to be reconciled
with observations. However, scientists are yet to find the correct mechanism to
do this. As a result, modified gravity models that explain cosmic acceleration
without dark energy have been proposed. Black Hole A black hole is anything but empty space. Rather,
it is a great amount of matter packed into a very small area - think of a star
ten times more massive than the Sun squeezed into a sphere approximately the
diameter of New York City. The result is a gravitational field so strong that
nothing, not even light, can escape. In recent years, NASA instruments have painted
a new picture of these strange objects that are, to many, the most fascinating
objects in space. The idea of an object in space so massive and dense
that light could not escape it has been around for centuries. Most famously,
black holes were predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity, which
showed that when a massive star dies, it leaves behind a small, dense remnant
core. If the core's mass is more than about three times the mass of the Sun,
the equations showed, the force of gravity overwhelms all other forces and
produces a black hole. Scientists can't directly observe black holes with
telescopes that detect x-rays, light, or other forms of electromagnetic
radiation. We can, however, infer the presence of black holes and study them by
detecting their effect on other matter nearby. If a black hole passes through a
cloud of interstellar matter, for example, it will draw matter inward in a
process known as accretion. A similar process can occur if a normal star passes
close to a black hole. In this case, the black hole can tear the star apart as
it pulls it toward itself. As the attracted matter accelerates and heats up, it
emits x-rays that radiate into space. Recent discoveries offer some tantalizing
evidence that black holes have a dramatic influence on the neighborhoods around
them - emitting powerful gamma ray bursts, devouring nearby stars, and spurring
the growth of new stars in some areas while stalling it in others. We incorporate Milky Way dark matter halo profile
uncertainties, as well as an accounting of diffuse gamma-ray emission
uncertainties in dark matter annihilation models for the Galactic Center
Extended gamma-ray excess (GCE) detected by the Fermi Gamma Ray Space
Telescope. The range of particle annihilation rate and masses expand when
including these unknowns. However, empirical determinations of the Milky Way
halo's local density and density profile leave the signal region to be in
considerable tension with dark matter annihilation searches from combined dwarf
galaxy analyses. One Star's End
is a Black Hole's Beginning Most black holes form from the remnants of a large
star that dies in a supernova explosion. (Smaller stars become dense neutron
stars, which are not massive enough to trap light.) If the total mass of the
star is large enough (about three times the mass of the Sun), it can be proven
theoretically that no force can keep the star from collapsing under the
influence of gravity. However, as the star collapses, a strange thing occurs.
As the surface of the star nears an imaginary surface called the "event
horizon," time on the star slows relative to the time kept by observers
far away. When the surface reaches the event horizon, time stands still, and
the star can collapse no more - it is a frozen collapsing object. Even bigger black holes can result from stellar
collisions. Soon after its launch in December 2004, NASA's Swift telescope
observed the powerful, fleeting flashes of light known as gamma ray bursts.
Chandra and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope later collected data from the event's
"afterglow," and together the observations led astronomers to
conclude that the powerful explosions can result when a black hole and a
neutron star collide, producing another black hole. “This is one of the first instances where we can really see how magnetic fields and interstellar matter interact with each other,” noted Joan Schmelz, Universities Space Research Center astrophysicist at NASA Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley, and a co-author on a paper describing the observations. “HAWC+ is a game-changer.” |

Conclusion |
This section would be highly critical as it presents a summary covering the spirit of the literature reviewed and the analysis generated from the response. Dark energy idea is just one component in a recent major overhaul in cosmological theory, based on observations that contradict prior theories. Dark energy has the name it does because it doesn't interact with ordinary matter except as a weak repulsive force that is only apparent at great ranges where gravitation can be overwhelmed. Dark matter has the name it does for much the same reason — it interacts gravitationally with ordinary matter, but it doesn't have any other known properties or interactions, and efforts to detect it have failed. |
