Story summary

Scientists investigate dark matter, which does not interact with electromagnetic forces but affects regular matter via gravity.
Physicists Guanming Liang and Robert Caldwell propose a model suggesting dark matter originated as hot, massless particles in the early universe.
As the universe cooled, these particles paired up, becoming slow-moving, heavy entities.
This model may provide insights into dark energy, which accelerates the universe's expansion.
The theory remains speculative but offers a testable hypothesis for understanding cosmic phenomena.
