When on the hunt for dark matter, they discovered that gravitational waves from merging black holes may unveil its true nature.<\/p>\n
The computer simulations studied the production of gravitational wave signals in simulated Universes with different kinds of dark energy. Their findings show that counting the number of black hole merging events detected by the next generation of observatories could tell us whether or not dark matter interacts with other particles, giving us new insights into what it is made of.<\/p>\n
\u201cGravitational waves offer us a unique opportunity to observe the early Universe as they pass unhindered through the Universe, and next-generation interferometers will be sensitive enough to detect individual events at huge distances,\u201d commented Markus Mosbech from the University of Sydney.<\/p>\n
The findings will be presented this week by the study\u2019s co-author, Dr Alex Jenkins, at the National Astronomy Meeting 2023<\/a> in Cardiff.<\/p>\nThe hunt for dark matter is the biggest missing piece of our Universe, scientists say<\/h3>\n
