'A bundle of microscopic tornadoes' may have given the universe its structure

New theoretical work suggests that ultralight dark matter might form spinning clumps with tiny vortices, behaving like a superfluid. Simulations show these dark matter halos could develop internal lattices of microscopic vortices when rotating, potentially explaining galaxy center density issues and connecting cosmic structures. This model offers a fresh perspective on dark matter behavior, with possible implications for galaxy formation and cosmic web structure.
