Dark matter and dark energy are two of the most profound mysteries in contemporary physics. Despite the evidence supporting them, we still cannot directly observe them or confirm they exist. To show the scale of the problem, just 5 percent of the observable universe consists of regular matter, the remaining 95 percent is thought to be this dark matter and dark energy. In this interview with Hongsheng Zhao, the IAI’s Max Rogers, enquires about Zhao’s theory that dark matter and dark energy are really one thing: Dark Fluid. This theory may have the potential to help us understand quantum gravity and the origin of mass. Where does the story of dark matter and dark energy begin?Up until the 1970s, particle physics experienced rapid advancement through the continuous discovery of new particles. Once this phase of discovery reached its limit, physicists constructed a model known as the standard model, which neatly incorporates all the particl…
