Genom att ha översikt över sin värdekedja kan varje för

Mörk materia har funnits sedan tidernas begynnelse, från den Stora Smällen. Under Universums första hundratals miljoner år var tyngdkraften från den mörka materian så kraftfull att den drog till sig den vanliga materian, som muskler till revben, och formade gigantiska strukturer. De första galaxerna växte där dessa strängar möttes.Galaxer kolliderade med andra galaxer, och slogs samman för att bil
