A research team at the University of Texas at Austin believes that the answer is that dark matter was created after all ordinary matter.
The sensational theory is: During the first fractions of a second of the universe’s lifetime, a hidden dark field arose, a force that permeated the universe.
20 minutes after the big bang, the universe had expanded so much that the temperature dropped drastically. As a result of this, the dark field changed phase.
The so-called phase transition can be compared to what happens when water boils and turns into gas. In a pot of water that begins to boil, small and large bubbles form and collide.
Similarly, bubbles were formed in the dark field. Eventually the field boiled over into an explosion of small and large bubbles that form the particles we know today as dark matter.
According to the theory, there are both very light dark matter particles, corresponding to the small bubbles, and giant dark matter particles, corresponding to the large bubbles, which are more than a billion times heavier than the heaviest particles we know today. Physicists call these ultra-heavy dark matter particles darkzillas after the movie monster Godzilla.
