Dark matter is not still, it behaves like a cosmic superfluid: Study

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.

New research suggests that dark matter could behave like a cosmic superfluid, forming swirling vortex lines and stable rotating cores known as solitons inside galaxies.

It may sound unbelievable, but dark matter could actually behave like a cosmic superfluid, forming swirling vortex lines and stable rotating cores known as solitons inside galaxies.

The study draws parallels between the quantum world of Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) and the grand cosmic scales of dark matter, potentially reshaping the understanding of the hidden architecture of the cosmos.

Author's summary: Dark matter may behave like a cosmic superfluid.
