Two scientists from Colgate University have expanded on the concept of the Dark Big Bang .

They set out all the possible scenarios for a 'second Big Bang' that would keep it consistent with our observations of the universe.

This "Dark Big Bang " would have flooded the universe with dark matter at the same time as the Big Bang up to one year after the primary cosmic creation event.

Dark matter is troubling for scientists because it doesn't seem to interact with particles of light or particles of "ordinary" matter.

Colgate researchers have a hint at how we could hunt for evidence of the Dark Big Bang .

The key to this detection could be faint ripples in space and time called "gravitational waves," first predicted by Einstein in 1915 .

Ilie and Casey think if the theory is correct, evidence for it could be detected as a result of Dark Sector and ordinary matter communicating with each other.
