A team of astronomers has discovered a strange object that could be surrounded by a pair of black holes. This discovery can help unravel the identity of dark matter and reveal the nature of space-time.
New research has shown that just as electrons exist around a pair of hydrogen atoms, special particles may exist around a pair of black holes. For the first time the so-called exists “Gravity Atom” Ever explained.
To unravel what this means, it is important to remember that in modern physics the electron is represented as a field – a mathematical object object that has value for every point in space and time.
An atom is basically a small nucleus surrounded by an electron field. It responds to the presence of electron field nuclei, and allows the electron to appear only in certain regions.

Interestingly, the atmosphere of a black hole can be described in the same way. The center of a black hole is somewhat like the nucleus of an atom, while it is similar to the one describing subatomic particles in the surrounding atmosphere.
The authors of the new study found that special types of fields – called scalar fields – could be around binary black holes. He also discovered that they could shape themselves into patterns that resembled how electron fields organize themselves into atoms.
Progress means that scientists will soon be able to detect dark matter with an existing gravitational wave detector. He longs to shine a light in the weakly perceived dark realm of the universe.
