The discussion centers on the concept of Bose stars, which are theorized to form from the clumping of dark matter into cold droplets known as Bose-Einstein condensates. A significant finding indicates that after an extensive duration—100,000 times longer than the time required for a particle to traverse the simulation volume—particles can spontaneously create a condensate that assumes a spherical shape due to gravitational forces. This phenomenon raises questions regarding the implications for microlensing constraints if Bose stars are to have a substantial influence in the universe.
PREREQUISITESAstronomers, astrophysicists, and researchers interested in dark matter theories and their implications for cosmic structures.
dark matter could be clumping into cold droplets called 'Bose stars'.
"After a very long period, 100,000 times longer than the time needed for a particle to cross the simulation volume, the particles spontaneously formed a condensate, which immediately shaped itself into a spherical droplet, a Bose star, under the effect of gravity."
