DARK FLOW

Dark flow is a hypothetical phenomenon that suggests that galaxy clusters are moving in a common direction with a velocity that cannot be explained by the known gravitational forces in the universe. It appears that they are being pulled towards a specific region of space.

It was proposed by a team of astrophysicists, who used data from WMAP satellite to study the cosmic microwave background radiation. They found that the motion of the galaxy clusters was consistent with a flow of matter towards a particular point in the constellation Centaurus.

The existence of dark flow challenges the current understanding of the universe, as it suggests the presence of large structures or gravitational forces beyond the observable universe that are influencing the motion of galaxies.

If dark flow is confirmed to be a real phenomenon, it could have significant implications for our understanding of the structure and evolution of the universe. It could also provide insights into the mysterious nature of dark matter.
