Innovative View on the Existence of Dark Matter

It is a known fact that only a small fragment of the universe comprises of visible matter and that the remaining vast regions are hidden from human eyes and include dark energy and dark matter. Although knowledge on dark energy is highly limited, various experiments and theories on the presence of dark matter, formulated to detect these unexplored particles, do exist.
