Scientists calculated the mass range for Dark Matter – Tech Explorist

Dark Matter particles must have a mass between 10-3 eV and 107 eV. That’s a much tighter range than the 10-24 eV — 1019 GeV spectrum which is generally theorised….

A new study drastically narrows the scope of possible masses for Dark Matter particles. Scientists from the University of Sussex used the fact that gravity acts on Dark Matter just as it acts on the visible universe to work out the lower and upper limits of Dark Matter’s mass.
They found that the dark matter cannot either ‘ultra-light’ or ‘super-heavy’ unless an as-yet-undiscovered force also acts upon it.
Scientists assumed that gravity is the only force that acts on dark matter. They then calculated…
