Dark matter is thought to be five times more prevalent than ordinary matter but does not absorb, reflect or emit light. Searches have so-far come up empty-handed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are going to increase the number of collisions drastically and therefore the probability of new discoveries also,\u201d said Steerenberg, who added that the collider was due to operate until another shutdown from 2025-2027.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
