Dark matter is a topic that has perplexed scientists for decades. It refers to a hypothetical form of matter that is believed to exist in the universe but does not interact with light or other forms of electromagnetic radiation. The term "dark matter" was first used in the 1930s by Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky, who observed that the observed mass of clusters of galaxies was not sufficient to explain their gravitational effects. Since then, numerous experiments and observations have been conducted in an attempt to detect and understand dark matter. These include studies of galaxy rotation curves, gravitational lensing, and the large-scale structure of the universe. All of these observations point towards the existence of an invisible type of matter that exerts a gravitational pull on visible matter.
All of these observations point towards the existence of an invisible type of matter that exerts a gravitational pull on visible matter. Despite its name, dark matter is not thought to be made up of ordinary matter like protons, neutrons, and electrons. Instead, it is believed to be composed of particles that have yet to be discovered.
Easton Launches Limited-Edition Retro-Styled Black Magic Bat
Ahead of the summer baseball season and College World Series, Easton released a retro-styled Black Magic bat in both the BBCOR and USSSA models.
The Original Black Magic was popular in the mid-1980s, one of the most used bats in Easton’s history—along with the B5 Pro. The original Black Magic was the first 2-3/4-inch barrel bat of its kind and quickly grew in use across amateur baseball. Today’s Black Magic Retro Remix, which launched for pre-order on June 9, offers a modern take on the original, engineered for today’s game with a style reminiscent of the one four decades ago.
“The original Black Magic might arguably be one of the most well-known bats to ever be made,” says John Loeffler, Easton’s bat category manager. “We are thrilled to bring that name back to life with updated technology, innovation and performance.”
The new Black Magic Retro Remix offers a one-piece aluminum bat with R5 alloy. The FlyWall ringless barrel design features different layers of alloy across the barrel, aimed at crafting a larger sweet spot and smoother feel at contact. The Easton Power Boost Soft Knob technology is meant to give hitters more leverage with reduced vibration and comfort for the bottom hand.
Of course, the retro styling plays across the aesthetics of the bat with the black base punctuated with gold.
“The original Black Magic was one of those bats to set the standard for bat innovation when it was first introduced,” says Matt Arndt, Easton senior vice president of product and research and development. “Now, coupled with today’s standards and advancements in technology, we are excited to bring back one of the most iconic bats in baseball history.”
The Black Magic released in multiple sizes for pre-order on June 9 and will be available online and in stores on June 16. The BBCOR design, priced at $350, is a -3, while the USSSA, priced at $280, comes in a -10, -8 or -5, all with varying barrel lengths and weights.

Various hypothetical particles have been proposed as candidates for dark matter, including WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) and axions. Understanding the nature of dark matter is crucial for our understanding of the universe. It is estimated that dark matter makes up about 27% of the total mass-energy content of the universe, while ordinary matter only accounts for about 5%. Dark matter plays a vital role in the formation and evolution of galaxies and the large-scale structure of the universe. Efforts to detect dark matter directly have so far been unsuccessful. Numerous experiments have been conducted using detectors deep underground in an attempt to capture interactions between dark matter particles and ordinary matter. These experiments have placed limits on the properties of dark matter, but have not provided conclusive evidence for its existence. In conclusion, dark matter remains one of the most mysterious and intriguing topics in astrophysics. Its existence is supported by a wide range of observations, but its nature and composition remain unknown. Further research and experiments are needed to unlock the secrets of dark matter and its role in the universe..
