What are some possible forms the dark matter in the halo of the Milky Way might be in?

We don't yet know enough about dark matter - or even if it really exists - to be able to speculate on what "form", if any, it might take.
You have to remember that "dark matter" is entirely theoretical, based on the supposed fact that the Milky Way doesn't have enough mass to keep it together, and that therefore there must be additional matter that we can't see - "dark" matter - to keep it all together. We've never detected any, nor do we know if we CAN detect any.

What possible forms might the dark matter in the halo of the milky way be in?
Dark matter in the halo of the Milky Way is mostly thought to be in the form of non-baryonic particles, such as Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) or Axions. These particles do not interact with electromagnetic forces and are thus difficult to detect directly. Other possibilities include primordial black holes or exotic compact objects.
Are all the stars you can see in the milky way?
Any individual star you can see is in the Milky Way galaxy... with one possible exception. Supernovae in nearby galaxies might be bright enough to see as individual stars.
Is it possible that there might be other forms in the universe?
yes because there are about hundred and hundreds of Galaxy in one universe at least what i read there are hundreds of galaxy so there might other forms if i am wrong pleas correct me :D
What is a possible spacial abnormality that might destroy milky way quasar for example?
First, a few clarifications. Quasars are related to black holes. Our Milky Way has no quasar; meaning that the black hole is currently "inactive", which basically means that it is not gobbling up a lot of matter. According to current scientific knowledge, there is really nothing that can destroy a black hole. It will gradually evaporate, but that takes a long, long time. For more details about this evaporation, search for information about "Hawking radiation".
Why is my hamster's urine a milky white?
your hamster might be dying or it is sick
How many solar systems are estimated to be in the milky way?
Scientist say there MIGHT be billions of solar systems in the Milky Way but I believe we are the only one!
Where might you find the Milky Way?
foodland, woolworths and yeah. quite tasty
Why might it be important that we learn about the milky way galaxy?
Because we are part of this galaxy.
What is the star called located in the center of the milky way galaxy?
Because of the clouds of gas and dust that exist in the Milky Way, we are unable to see stars near the core of the galaxy. So, if there is one there, it does not have a name. But it is entirely possible that there is not star at the center of our galaxy. Recent radio telescope observations indicate that many galaxies contain hyper-massive black holes at their centers, and our own Milky Way might be among them.
What can be possible reason for matter prevailing over antimatter?
well.. it might have something to do with that protons are bigger than electrons in matter and that works out better than antimatter where positrons are the smaller in mass.
Is E equals MC2 the equation for a wormhole?
No, E=mc^2 is not an equation specifically for a wormhole. It is Einstein's famous equation that relates energy (E) to mass (m) and the speed of light (c). Wormholes are theoretical passages through spacetime that might be possible according to the equations of general relativity.
How is the milky way different then other galaxies?
The milky way is different then other galaxies because it has a milky color and twists in the middle and other galaxies dont have a planet with live humans.Maybe Aliens.Prove me wrong if you want because it might be wrong.Thank you.
