"Dark Matter Code" explores the compelling mystery of dark matter, the invisible substance constituting most of the universe's mass. The book investigates the nature of dark matter, its critical role in shaping galaxies and cosmic structures, and the various efforts to detect and understand it. Intriguingly, evidence suggests dark matter makes up roughly 85% of the universe, yet its composition remains unknown. This exploration is crucial as understanding dark matter could revolutionize our grasp of physics and the evolution of the cosmos.
The book starts with a historical perspective, tracing the discovery of dark matter through observations like galactic rotation curves and gravitational lensing. It then progresses to examine the role of dark matter in galaxy formation, supported by complex cosmological simulations.
Finally, the book delves into the experiments designed to directly detect dark matter particles, such as WIMPs and axions, via underground detectors and the Large Hadron Collider. This approach enables the reader to appreciate the interdisciplinary nature of dark matter research, bridging particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology.
