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."
Bose Stars are hypothetical astronomical objects that are made up of Bose-Einstein condensates, which are a state of matter composed of bosons (particles with integer spin). Dark matter is also thought to be composed of particles with integer spin, so Bose Stars are believed to be one possible explanation for the composition of dark matter.
Bose Stars are thought to be formed in the early universe when bosons were densely packed together due to the high temperatures and pressures. As the universe expanded and cooled, the bosons were able to form into Bose-Einstein condensates and eventually collapse into Bose Stars due to gravity.
Currently, there is no observational evidence for the existence of Bose Stars. They are purely theoretical objects and their small size and lack of electromagnetic radiation make them difficult to detect. However, scientists are working on potential ways to detect them, such as through gravitational lensing effects or particle accelerators.
The discovery of Bose Stars would provide strong evidence for the existence of dark matter and potentially help us better understand its properties. It could also lead to the development of new theories and models for dark matter that incorporate Bose-Einstein condensates.
Some scientists have proposed that Bose Stars could also be responsible for the formation of supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies. Additionally, the study of Bose-Einstein condensates and Bose Stars could provide valuable insights into the fundamental nature of matter and potentially lead to new technologies.
