- A strange LIGO signal could reveal the missing link behind dark matter
An unusual gravitational wave signal detected by LIGO has reignited interest in primordial black holes as a potential explanation for dark matter. Confirmation of this signal could address a major astronomical mystery by linking these theoretical objects to the nature of dark matter.
- A strange ripple in spacetime could be the first fingerprint of dark matter
Physicists have created a new model to predict how dark matter could distort gravitational waves produced during black hole mergers. The method was tested on real LIGO data and one signal stood out as potentially carrying a dark matter imprint. This could be a clue about dark matter hidden across the universe.
- Scientists may finally detect hidden ripples in spacetime
Scientists have developed a unified method to detect tiny ripples in spacetime, advancing efforts to test theories of quantum gravity.
