Dark matter
Adds mass to galaxy/ shapes them
Interacts gravitationally not electromagnetically which means it’s only seen through its gravitational affect on other matter
Antimatter
Antimatter reacts with regular matter by destroying each other positron meets electron equals annihilation
Antimatter is produced by lightning and cosmic rays antimatter is created by many types of radioactive decay
Dark energy
Dark energy pushes matter of parts as dark matter brings matter together and dark energy drives cosmic expansion
Red shift
As an object moves away light waves are stretched - like the Doppler effect where it’s a lower pitch as the sound moves relevant to the observer, like when object moves away when the wave length becomes redder
Red shift proves the universe is accelerating its expansion
