Dark matter and dark energy in the Universe: Astrophysical reasons and theoretical models

Abstract

The general review on the problem of dark matter and dark energy in observable Universe is given. The problem is treated from the point of view of research fields on the boundary of which this fundamental task is situated, namely, the astrophysics and theoretical physics. We emphasize that interdisciplinary nature of “dark sector” of Universe problem can assist in its resolution. The paper does not describe the history of the question, but is centred on revealing the main trends and perspectives.
