New research suggests that a new type of self-interacting dark matter could solve three cosmic puzzles: an ultradense clump of matter detected in the system, a visible "scar" in a stream of stars, and a confusing formation of an unusual star cluster named Fornax 6 in the Fornah satellite galaxy of the, could explain these puzzles. The theory suggests that self interacting dark matter can explain all three situations, which are difficult to reconcile with the standard model of dark matter. Unlike cold dark matter, self-attracting dark matter particles can collide with each other, exchanging energy and momentum, creating dense, compact cores. This could explain the strange aspects of these astronomical bodies.
