Dubai: A Dubai resident has created a formula that has the world’s space agencies knocking at her door.

Dr Manahel Thabet may soon join the ranks of the scientists and discoverers she’s spent her life looking up to. The Yemeni national has created a formula that may prove ground-breaking in the world of quantum mathematics. It could forever change the dynamics of what we consider space.

Following a year-and-a-half of playing with numbers, calculations and equations, Manahel struck gold. She found the missing link to the puzzle that could help scientists and space researchers measure distances in space in the absence of light. It’s a formula that has attracted the attention of various space entities, including Nasa and the French space agency.

“A few years ago, scientists discovered the existence of dark matter, a substance that eats the light,” says Manahel. “All the equations and formulas we have today to measure two points in the universe are through the speed of light. Our ability to measure point A to point B in the universe has been disturbed by the dark matter.
