I Can Black Holes Explain the Mystery of Dark Matter in the Universe?

AI Thread Summary
Black holes cannot explain the mystery of dark matter, which is essential for understanding why galaxies do not drift apart due to their rotation. Dark matter is believed to form halos around galaxies, while black holes are typically located at their centers. The distinction between the two is crucial for astrophysical models. For further insights, additional threads on dark matter are available for exploration. The conversation emphasizes the importance of dark matter in the structure of the universe.

there is a lot of discussion about dark matter. Can black holes be used to explain this missing mass of the universe??

No. Dark matter mainly explains why galaxis don't drift apart because of their rotation. Galaxis are surrounded by halos of dark matter, whereas black holes can be found at their centers. For more information there are a lot of threads about dark matter here on PF. Some can be found at the bottom of this page under "Similar Discussions" and even more, if you use the search mechanism at the top right.

Thank u sir, for ur response..
 

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Could fast radio bursts be alien radar signals?'

Both have short pulses of emission and a wide spectral bandwidth, covering a wide variety of frequencies: "Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are detected over a wide range of radio frequencies, including frequencies around 1400 MHz, but have also been detected at lower frequencies, particularly in the 400–800 MHz range. Russian astronomers recently detected a powerful burst at 111 MHz, expanding our understanding of the FRB range. Frequency Ranges: 1400 MHz: Many of the known FRBs have been detected...
