(Universidade de Évora) The existence of dark matter particles in the sun's interior seems inevitable, despite dark matter never having been observed (there or elsewhere), despite intensive ongoing searches. Once gravitationally captured by the sun, these particles tend to accumulate in its core.In a paper to be published in the scientific journal Science, Dr. Ilidio Lopes and professor Joseph Silk propose that the presence of dark matter in the Sun's interior causes a significant drop in its central temperature.
