The lost secret of the universe is being solved: Scientists traced dark matter through quark disintegration

In the study led by Cambridge University researchers, signals were received from the smallest dimension of nature examined to date using the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. It has been reported that this micro-sized discovery, which is 100 billion times smaller than an atom and called "Zepto-universe", can explain the mysterious structure of the universe and dark matter.

DECAY OF BEAUTY quarks will shed light on dark matter

Within the scope of the experiments, subatomic shrapnel fragments that emerged by colliding atoms with each other with enormous energies were examined. Researchers have managed to measure the interaction of extremely unstable "beauty quark" particles, which can only live for a trillionth of a second, with other structures at a scale of one billionth of a trillionth of a meter.

Physicists emphasize that "dark matter", which makes up most of the universe but cannot be detected except under the influence of gravity, directly changes quark interactions at this scale. It is stated that the structure of invisible dark matter can be solved by mapping this subatomic mobility in the zepto-universe.

FUNDING CUT IN ENGLAND HAS ARRESTED THE SCIENTIFIC WORLD

While the next phase of the project was planned to update the detectors (LHCb) with a budget of 150 million pounds and increase the data flow by 10 times, the announcement of the United Kingdom Research and Innovation Agency (UKRI) that it would withdraw its financial support from the project created controversy.

LHCb international collaboration leader Prof. Tim Gershon and famous physicist Prof. Brian Cox stated that this decision of the British government will deal a heavy blow to international scientific leadership and the training of young researchers. Dr. who is part of the research team. It was noted that many talented young physicists, such as Mary Richardson-Slipper, had to turn to projects abroad due to cuts.

"WE ARE KNOCKING ON THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL DOOR OF THE UNIVERSE"

The leader of the data analysis team, Dr. Harry Cliff stated that the level reached offers a unique opportunity for the discovery of new particles and said, "We are currently knocking on the door of the zeptoverse. We need more data to see what awaits us there."

Despite financial and political obstacles, CERN researchers continue their scans of the subatomic world to develop the most comprehensive theory of the workings of the universe.
