We can think of dark energy and dark matter as the yin and yang of our Universe; the former exudes a repulsive force known as antigravity, while dark matter creates an attractive force that holds galaxies together by using gravity. Together, they comprise 95% of our total Universe, but we cannot see either, making their … Read more
