The chapter delves into the concept of solving the supermassive black hole problem by discussing challenges in getting matter to the center of things. It explores the idea that black holes could be creating dark matter themselves and the interaction between ordinary matter, hydrogen, and dark matter around supermassive black holes. Various types of dark matter particles are explored, including Darkzilla, Dark Wimps, and Dark Cannibals, each with unique properties and behaviors.
Did JWST discover dark stars? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice explore the dark universe and how learning about dark matter could help uncover the mystery of JWST’s primordial objects with theoretical physicist Katherine Freese.
