Gravitational Waves to Find Dark Matter
Last week we talked about how astronomers have used pulsars to Detect the background gravitational wave signature of the universe. But could we use gravitational waves to detect dark matter in theory? I mean if dark matter is actually matter and not just some kind of modified gravity Then when matter is moving through the universe you would expect it to release some kind of gravitational wave. As gravitational waves push through dark matter They're going to be influenced and affected by that dark matter. It's a very specific type of dark matter. So hopefully we'll find out the repercussions of this over the coming years. We'll post a new vote soon to the community tab on YouTube where you can see the Next vote for this week
