Dark Matter May Behave Like Waves, Quasar Could Prove It
Original: Dark Matter May Behave Like Waves and a Distant Quasar Could Prove It
A new study suggests dark matter may behave like waves rather than particles, and astronomers propose that observations of a distant quasar could provide the evidence needed to test the idea. The research offers a possible way to distinguish between competing dark matter models, and physicists are watching to see whether quasar observations can confirm or rule out the wave-like scenario.
Why now: Fresh physics research proposes a testable new picture of dark matter, one of the biggest open questions in science.
