Abstract

Dark matter is one of the most mysterious subjects in cosmology. When people try to analyse the characteristic of a kind of object that they cannot observe it directly, how will they do? Just like the invisible dragon in Carl’s gauge, when we cannot observe an object, how can we ensure that it exists. This essay will introduce why scientists need dark matter, what makes it important, and how scientists use ingenious methods to observe dark matter indirectly. In addition, scientists are always curious about what can be the candidates of dark matter. In this essay, the special characteristic of dark matter that make it different from the normal matter will also be introduced. These properties are essential to determine what can be dark matter and what cannot be. A lot of hypothetical particles and celestial body will be important candidates.
