Why are WIMP dark matter particles, if Majorana-like, expected to annihilate upon contact? B...
I have heard a lot recently about so-called 'dark stars'; stars that are formed with the help of the gravitational pull of dark matter, or perhaps entirely from self-annihilating Majorana-type dark pa …

What is a 'square' Kelvin degree? μ$K^2$? In terms of the cosmic microwave background's (CMB...
From what I have read and seen, the minute temperature fluctuations in the CMB are measured in microKelvin, or μK.
However, many charts and graphs show μK2, or 'microKelvin-squared'.
Do they simply me …

Why doesn't dark matter clump strongly in the center of galaxies, since it doesn't feel eith...
Dark matter is described as being spread not only throughout a galaxy, but also around it in a halo of some sort that extends far beyond the visible parts of the galaxy...
In fact, dark matter haloes …

Why do most astrophysicists believe the cosmic microwave background (CMB) provides the best ...
I frequently read that the cosmic microwave background contains the best overall evidence for the existence of dark matter, and conversely against alternative gravity theories like MOND.
However, I ca …

Does the density of a black hole decrease after releasing a large amount of Hawking radiation?
Is is true that the smaller a 'regular', stellar-mass black hole is, the denser it is inside of its event horizon? After all, if you look up (or calculate) the Schwarzschild radii of the Sun and the E …

As @PeterErwin's comment compassionately points out:
"Acceleration" means changing the velocity vector, so an object in a circular orbit is always "accelerating" (because the direction of the velocit …

In the Modified Theory of Newtonian Gravity or MOND, they say that massive objects, accelerating slowly, experience this modified gravity.
But are they actually gaining in velocity, albeit very slowly …
