Giant quantum whirlpools of dark matter particles have been discovered around rotating black holes. They are stable and can reveal how space gets twisted, like in a whirlpool. This not only changes dark matter models but also explains the mysterious flares observed by the XRISM satellite. Soon, we might witness the dance of invisible vortices near the event horizon.
🎯 These whirlpools are billions of times finer than an atom, yet span millions of kilometers, dwarfing the black hole itself.
