"Detecting Gentle Wobbles: Unveiling the Mystery of Dark Matter"

A new theoretical study suggests that dark matter, a mysterious substance that dominates the universe, may be detectable using gravitational wave detectors. The study proposes that ultralight dark matter particles could behave like waves, causing random fluctuations in the density of dark matter within galactic halos. These fluctuations could potentially be detected by future space-based gravitational wave detectors, such as the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), offering a way to test the hypothesis of ultralight dark matter. While this theory may be more than a decade away from being testable, it presents a promising avenue for detecting the influence of dark matter on space-time.
