Investigating Different Dark Matter Theories

Abstract This research paper explores various candidates proposed to explain the nature of dark matter, a fundamental yet elusive component of the universe. The methodology involves a comparative analysis of the strengths and limitations of each theory, with particular focus on Primordial Black Holes (PBHs), which emerge as a leading candidate. By evaluating the evidence and theoretical underpinnings, a logical conclusion is drawn to address the research question: Which theory of dark matter is the most accurate? The findings suggest that PBHs are the strongest contender due to their natural alignment with existing cosmological models and their compatibility with observed phenomena. However, the possibility that dark matter is composed of a combination of different candidates remains open, reflecting the complexity of this unresolved scientific challenge.
