Unveiling the Mysteries of Dark Matter through Gravitational Waves and Pulsars

Theoretical physicists in India have proposed that gravitational waves could provide evidence of dark matter's role in transforming neutron stars into black holes. Dark matter, a hypothetical substance that interacts with ordinary matter through weak non-gravitational interactions, could accumulate within the core of a neutron star, increasing its density and causing it to collapse into a miniature black hole. The detection of low-mass black holes resulting from this process would offer tantalizing evidence for dark matter. Gravitational wave observations of black hole mergers could provide valuable insights into the nature of dark matter and its interactions with normal matter.
