Dark matter made out of axions may have the power to make space-time ring like a bell, but only if it is able to steal energy from black holes, according to new research.

The nature of dark matter has puzzled astronomers since discovering that 85% of the universe's matter is invisible through our telescopes.

For nearly a century, dark matter has stood as one of the most perplexing mysteries in modern physics. Despite its invisibility, its existence is undeniable, as it exerts gravitational effects that are essential for explaining the structure and behavior of galaxies.

The big cosmic joke of dark matter is that, although we can’t see it, it apparently makes up the vast majority of all the matter in the universe. We literally can’t see the forest for the trees. We’re also not sure when and where it came from.

Dark matter has always been one of the biggest mysteries in astrophysics. The "Dark Big Bang" theory may have the answer.
