轴子(axion)是为解决什么问题而被提出的?
What problem was the axion originally proposed to solve?
轴子原为解释强相互作用中“CP 破坏为何极小”(强 CP 问题)而设,后来发现它若极轻且弱耦合,正好可作冷暗物质候选,实验用微波腔“监听”其转化光子。
The axion was proposed to explain why strong-interaction CP violation is tiny; being very light and weakly coupled it also fits cold dark matter, and experiments listen for it converting to photons in microwave cavities.

修改引力理论(如 MOND)能否替代暗物质?
Can modified-gravity theories like MOND replace dark matter?
MOND 在星系尺度用修改的引力成功拟合旋转曲线,却难解释星系团、引力透镜与宇宙微波背景;主流仍认为暗物质(尤其 WIMP、轴子)更自洽。
MOND fits galaxy rotation curves by modifying gravity but struggles with clusters, lensing and the CMB; most physicists still favor dark matter (WIMP/axion) as more consistent.

暗物质和暗能量是同一种东西吗?
Are dark matter and dark energy the same thing?
不是。暗物质用引力把星系聚在一起;暗能量则像一种负压力,让宇宙加速膨胀。两者都不发光,但作用方向相反。
No. Dark matter's gravity holds galaxies together, while dark energy acts like a repulsive pressure speeding up expansion. Both are invisible but opposite in effect.

弱相互作用大质量粒子(WIMP)为什么是热门候选?
Why is the WIMP a popular dark-matter candidate?
WIMP 只通过引力和弱力作用、质量较大、运动慢,早期宇宙刚好能留下今天观测到的暗物质密度(“WIMP 奇迹”),实验用深地探测器等待它撞上原子核。
WIMPs interact only via gravity and the weak force, are heavy and slow, and naturally yield today's dark-matter density from the early universe (the WIMP miracle); detectors deep underground wait for them to hit nuclei.

引力透镜怎么给暗物质“称重”?
How does gravitational lensing weigh dark matter?
大质量天体会弯折背后星光(引力透镜),弯曲程度取决于总质量;比较可见质量与透镜质量之差,就得到暗物质分布。
Massive objects bend background light (gravitational lensing); the bending depends on total mass, so comparing visible vs lensing mass reveals dark matter.

暗物质就是“黑黑的东西”吗?
Is dark matter just something black?
不是普通黑色物体。暗物质不发光也不挡光,我们靠它对星系旋转的引力影响才知道它存在。
It is not simply dark stuff. Dark matter neither emits nor blocks light; we infer it from the gravity that shapes how galaxies spin.
