Muller's opposite number on the car of Ocon's team-mate, British rookie Oliver Bearman, will be Ronan O'Hare, another internal recruit who was previously a performance engineer.

This is an attractive hypothesis because it would also solve something called the strong CP problem in the standard model of cosmology, said Dr. Ciaran O’Hare, a particle astrophysicist at the University of Sydney who studies dark matter.

“If dark matter were a QCD axion, it would essentially be invisible to us,” O’Hare told Salon in a video call.

The challenge with finding evidence to support this idea is that scientists have determined that for this to be true, it would have to be black holes the size of about an asteroid, which are difficult to stumble upon given the scale of the universe, O’Hare said.

“Observing black holes with the mass of an asteroid is just unbelievably difficult,” O’Hare said.
