Comment on If dark matter doesn't emit, absorb, or reflect light, what happens when light hits it?
Nighed@feddit.uk 14 hours agoAnd we recently discovered a clump of dark matter big enough to form a gravitational lens - we could actually see it curving light.
This helps show that dark matter isn’t evenly distributed, it’s not that we just need to add a multiplier to some equation; it’s something that ‘exists’.

Personally, I’m a big fan of “there are unknowns in the universe”, so imo they found lens, which could be a gravitational lens ;)
Cool nontheless.

That is literally what dark matter is.
