NASA’s James Webb Telescope will play an important role in proving what astronomers at the University of Nottingham suggest.
Maybe there are invisible mysterious walls in space According to a new discovery by astronomers of the University of Nottingham. In accordance with BGRscientists suspect that a “fifth force” is operating in space, which is responsible for creating these “invisible walls” and that it is mediated by a hypothetical particle called a “symmetron”.
Of course these walls are not like the walls of a room, as you may have imagined and they look more like obstacles. Thanks to them we could give an explanation, in a -until recently- unexplained part of space, which has left unanswered questions to astronomers for years.
We know, thanks to current technology, that the Lambda Cold Dark Matter (LCDM) model is the current standard model with which we explain cosmology, however there has been a complex challenge to this model, which does not draw a clear conclusion.
The LCDM model argues that small galaxies are distributed in messy orbits around other larger ones. However, most small galaxies that revolve around larger ones are distributed in thin, flat planes that resemble Saturn’s rings. As if arranging galaxies next to each other with invisible walls. These “satellites”, as astronomers often call them, can be found in synchronized orbits across our own galaxy, and have been observed in neighboring galaxies. Over the years, scientists have come up with many possible explanations for solving the “satellite disk problem”.
Researchers have concluded that it may come from “new physics”, which does not completely eliminate dark matter. After all, dark matter is the largest mass in the universe and is among the greatest unexplained mysteries in the universe.
It is recalled that these hypothetical particles called “symmetrons” could be responsible for creating invisible walls, which are able to keep galaxies in their refined orbits, rather than moving erratically – as the LCDM model suggests.
All the research is just an idea based on some evidence, but in order to prove that there are indeed invisible walls in space, it must be proven that symmetrons also exist. The James Webb Telescope will play a role in this piece in the future.
