The nature of dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up over 80% of the matter in the universe, remains one of the most intriguing mysteries of modern physics. Elucidating the nature of dark matter will profoundly impact our understanding of cosmology, astrophysics, and particle physics, providing insights into the evolution of the universe and potentially uncovering new physical laws and fundamental forces beyond the standard model.
