      Hello!

      I assume you are talking about dark matter?

      Dark matter is a type of matter physicists think exists but it can’t be seen so it is difficult to study. That’s the most detail I know because I’m not a physicist!

      So in response to your question, no one has ever broken any dark matter because they are still trying to prove it exists!

      Maybe one day you will study dark matter, and answer your own question! 🙂

      I love the variety of the questions, I’m not a physicist either…I know there is dark energy, dark matter and normal matter…and that scientists need more data and better data to find out more about dark energy and dark matter…that will be your generation of science. Some scientists think that dark matter may be made up of WIMPS – weakly interacting massive particles.
