In a recent study, scientists have found a hypothetical particle that could serve as a portal to a fifth dimension that could solve the mystery of dark matter. The particle, called a fermion, follows the Fermi-Dirac statistics in particle physics and could explain the abundance of dark matter that makes up most of the universe's mass. The study shows that "new physics" could explain these fundamental mysteries by showing a model of the universe with a fifth dimension that particles can travel through. The team of theoretical physicists from Spain and Germany explained that there are still some questions that are not answered within the standard model of physics. The models of the hypothetical particle did not conflict with the real evidence of dark matter abundance in the universe, which suggests that the particle could be a possible new messenger to the dark sector. The discovery could change the way we look at the universe and provide useful information about the possible mass range of dark matter and its interactions with the particles we know nowadays.
