Dark Matter Behaves Like a Cosmic Superfluid
Dark matter makes up about 85 percent of all matter in the universe and is invisible to telescopes as it neither emits nor absorbs light.
A new study suggests that dark matter could behave like a cosmic superfluid, forming swirling vortex lines and stable rotating cores known as solitons inside galaxies.
Instead of being featureless, dark matter could actually behave like a cosmic superfluid
The study draws parallels between the quantum world of Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) and the grand cosmic scales of dark matter, challenging the traditional description of dark matter as a collisionless fluid of particles.
This theory could reshape how scientists understand the hidden architecture of the cosmos, from the hearts of galaxies to the vast structures that connect them.
