Although supermassive black holes (SMBH) are the most exotic, gargantuan, galaxy-shaping objects in the universe, we still know little about them. Considering the physics-breaking nature of their ...

In a new study, scientists from Canada have proposed a solution to the final parsec problem of supermassive black hole (SMBH) mergers using self-interacting dark matter. When two galaxies merge, gas ...

Researchers have found a link between some of the largest and smallest objects in the cosmos: supermassive black holes and dark matter particles. Their new calculations reveal that pairs of ...

The giant holes in galaxies’ centers shouldn’t be able to merge, yet merge they do. Scientists suggest that an unusual form of dark matter may be the solution. Galaxies have been merging into ...
