At the beginning of the universe, dark stars may have existed, a type of astronomical object built on the strangest matter.
the Dark matter and energy They are interesting because they represent Most of the universe. Despite her intense presence… Continue in Threshold of ambiguity. There is no clarity about the composition of the first, but it is known that its molecules cannot absorb, reflect, or produce light, and hence it cannot be seen directly. In addition to being a mystery, dark matter is associated with hypotheticals Dark starsthe ancestral bodies of the universe for which the search for evidence continues.
What are dark stars?
Astronomers seek to track it down The first stars in the universePossibility Dark stars. This type of astronomical object will obtain its energy through annihilation Dark matter, in Instead, he turned to nuclear fusion,
The hypothesis says so Dark stars formed in the early days of the universeWhen it was very dense and contained a large amount of Dark matter in the form of WIMPsThey are molecules that annihilate each other and produce energy in the process.

Primordial space would have been the ideal setting, because of its small dimensions, for the dynamics of the world WIMPswithin the so-called dark stars, occurred and allowed These ancient giants shine.
Catherine Freezea physicist at the University of Michigan, suggests so Dark stars It could actually be Black hole seeds Found in every galaxy.
Possible evidence
To the many deeds that add up to a short existence James Webb Space TelescopeWe should add that as part of its ability to return to the dawn of the universe, the device was able to recognize… Top candidates for this category.

According to the idea, The three objects in question date back to the early years of the universe. According to research conducted by Katherine Freese, who is also the lead author of the publication published in Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesThe telescope’s discoveries involve two broad possibilities to describe their nature: Primordial galaxies or dark stars.
There is not yet enough data to make a final judgment on this subject, however Hope is placed on future observations by James Webb.
