Ghost Particles and Dark Matter: A Cosmic Connection Unveiled?

  • A new study suggests neutrinos (ghost particles) and dark matter might interact, challenging previous assumptions.
  • Researchers analyzed astronomical datasets, galaxy distributions, and cosmic structures, finding a "three-sigma" signal.
  • This interaction, if confirmed, could explain discrepancies between cosmic observations and theoretical predictions, like Universe expansion rates.
  • It could also provide new directions for particle physicists in their search for dark matter on Earth.
  • While not definitive proof, the consistent signal across datasets warrants serious scientific attention.

Why It Matters: A study hints at a surprising interaction between neutrinos and dark matter, potentially reshaping cosmic understanding.
