Once the initial blaze of heat dissipated, the constituent particles of atoms were free to bind.

The key problem with the dark matter hypothesis is that nobody knows what form dark matter might take.

The heart’s rhythms may play a larger role in shaping psychedelic experiences than previously thought.

The paper does not prove the existence of dark matter, but it mostly eliminates a rival theory called Modified Newtonian Dynamics.
