A new study reveals that dark matter may not be as clustered as previously thought. In fact, it's very possible that dark matter is more evenly spread out in space. For the study, astronomers observed an area of the sky covering a size about 2,200 times that of the full moon, and encompassing more than 15 million galaxies.

Vacuum birefringence has been observed by a team of scientists for the first time ever using the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT). The team observed neutron star RX J1856.5-375, which is about 400 light-years from Earth, with just visible light, pushing the limits of existing telescope technology.

No More Dark Matter? A New Theory of Gravity Could Explain Away Dark Matter and Energy

Bump it!
By treating gravity as an emergent phenomenon instead of a fundamental force, emergent gravity theory negates the need for dark matter and dark energy to explain the universe. Any theories that could help us reconcile the conflicts between the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics will bring us a huge step closer to understanding our physical universe.
