Supercomputer comes up with a profile of dark matter

Extension of the Standard Model predicts properties of candidate particle

In the search for the mysterious dark matter, physicists have used elaborate computer calculations to come up with an outline of the particles of this unknown form of matter. To do this, the scientists extended the successful Standard Model of particle physics which allowed them, among other things, to predict the mass of so-called axions, promising candidates for dark matter.

My son just told me that black matter doesn't exist thus Einstein was wrong. I didn't listen too well. I'll look it up.

As far as I know, dark matter, as a hypothesis to explain the movement of stars within galaxies, was after Einstein's time. You see, stars revolve about their galactic centers faster than can be explained by observable matter. Therefore additional unseen matter has been postulated, to account for gravitational forces need to explain the movement of stars within galaxies.

Your posted link is an interesting development in the theory of gravity. It indicates that our understanding of gravity is still in its infancy, and that our work is still ahead of us to understand this force of nature.

Futurama informs us, reliably and accurately, that dark matter is the poop of an alien species that is very cute
