The black hole, although an extremely mysterious object and very difficult to analyze, remains always at the center of scientists' attention, and today we are talking about a new discovery that completely amazed them, and that helps us understand them more easily. More precisely, scientists have discovered a series of gravitational molecules that would exist in the orbit generated by a black hole, this being the first time they detect such types of cells in those areas.
The black hole it can have such molecules around or only if we are talking about a pair that is in a relative vicinity, and this is because their proximity is needed for these molecules to exist. The researchers compare the existence of these molecules around black holes with the existence of electrons around an atom, and they say that starting from here they can try to discover more about the dark matter that exists throughout the universe.
Black Hole: Researchers AMAZED by INCREDIBLE Discovery
The black hole it can help researchers better understand the dark matter from which many believe the universe was formed, but until now there is very little information about it, especially since it is almost impossible to detect. Scientists say that if black matter exists in the same way as these molecules, it is possible that it hangs around black holes in the same way, which could help them explain a lot of the formation of the universe, and not only .
"The authors of the study found that scalar fields can indeed exist around binary black holes. Moreover, they can form in certain patterns that resemble the way electron fields are arranged in molecules. So the behavior of scalar fields in this scenario mimics the way electrons behave in diatomic molecules, hence the name "gravitational molecules". If dark matter is indeed composed of some kind of scalar field, then this result means that dark matter would exist in a very strange state around binary black holes – the mysterious dark particles should exist in very specific orbits, at just like electrons do in atoms."
The black hole it is difficult to observe, dark matter is almost impossible, so for now all the researchers' revelations are based on theories regarding scalar fields, and not on many direct observations from the universe. Even so, what they saw around binary black holes helped them reach these conclusions, and that matters a lot for future research on these mysterious objects that destroy everything that comes close to them.
The black hole from the center of the galaxy, the Milky Way would be the easiest to study by researchers, but unfortunately, even in its case, it is difficult to make very detailed analyzes because of the way it exists in the universe.
