🌌 Dark Matter Detector Simulator
Hunt for invisible particles in a virtual underground laboratory
🤔 What Is Dark Matter Detection?
Dark matter makes up 85% of all mass in the universe, yet it's completely invisible. Detectors buried deep underground use liquid xenon to catch the incredibly rare moment when a dark matter particle bumps into an ordinary atom — like feeling an invisible cosmic wind.
Why does this matter? Understanding dark matter would revolutionize physics and reveal the hidden structure of our universe. The LZ experiment — the world's most sensitive detector — is 3 million times more sensitive than early detectors.
