Dark matter might cloak black holes in quantum clouds, like fog around a lamp. The future space detector LISA will catch the distortions in gravitational waves – and then we'll finally know what the hidden mass of the universe is made of.
🎯 Dark matter particles in such clouds can be billions of times lighter than the electron, but their collective pressure can change the trajectory of an entire black hole.
