What is dark matter?
Dark matter is perplexing. It exerts gravitational forces on visible matter, yet does not emit any detectable light or energy.
Its existence was inferred through its gravitational influence on galaxies and galactic clusters. But direct detection has remained a formidable challenge. The JWST’s ability to peer into the invisible corners of the universe could provide crucial clues about the behavior of dark matter.
