Dark matter can flow like a superfluid. And this is one of the new ideas, about that matter and its existence. Dark matter refers to a mysterious gravitational effect that is present in many, but not all, galaxies. Dark matter is some kind of matter, but the problem is what its real shape is. Researchers think that dark matter particles, called weakly interacting massive particles, WIMPs, form dark matter. Because dark matter seems to be missing in some galaxies, that means dark matter should form structures like nebulae, just like visible matter. So, dark matter spread in the universe is not homogeneous. The gravitational interactions between dark and visible matter mean that the dark matter could form black holes.
That means dark matter should have some kind of particle form. But nobody knows what that particle really is. It’s possible that dark matter is some kind of quasiparticle nebula, like the so-called stable exciton. Another version is that dark matter particles can spin in a way. Which makes quantum fields. To slide past it. That means the particle itself cannot give reflection. There are multiple models that this matter could be. In some theories, the fast-spinning superstrings. Extremely thin energy fields can roll quantum fields in that structure. If the ends of those energy fields are in a lower energy state, that causes a situation where the superstring transports energy from its ends.

Could WIMP be some very small, high-energy particle that can tunnel through other particles? The idea is this: WIMP could be a very small particle. That collects energy in the middle of it. Then that energy travels out from the WIMP. From its spin axis. If the WIMP turns its spin axis to another particle, that energy flow acts like a drill. That thing could make the WIMP tunnel through other particles.
That means we cannot see that superstring from the middle of it, if it can transport all energy into its ends. The only known interaction between dark matter and visible matter is gravity. There is a possibility that dark matter has some other interactions. But those interactions are so weak. Things like electromagnetism cover them below it. In those models, WIMPs are so small particles. That they cause interaction. In the smallest subatomic particles. Those interactions vanish. Under the electromagnetic radiation. There is also a possibility that the WIMP is some kind of boson.
The WIMP could be a high-energy particle. Or it can act like some neutrino. In that model is possible that the WIMP can tunnel through other particles. In some models, the WIMP is a particle. That's hovering in some kind of quantum field. The quantum field can be. A standing wave around the particle. In that case. It is possible. The particle can turn its spin axis to the object, which can be another particle. If WIMP is a very small, fast-spinning particle. It can conduct energy into the middle of it. And then transmit that energy out from its spin axis. That energy that travels out from the particle acts like a drill.
That causes a situation where the particle transmits extra energy. The mystery gamma-ray glow can mean that the dark matter density is higher near the supermassive black holes like Sgr* A. Black hole packs dark matter around it and that makes WIMPs interacting more often than usually. That can cause the mysterious gamma-ray glow near the center of the galaxy.
And this thing can cause an effect. The dark matter particle just tunnels itself. Through the much larger particle. This means that the dark matter particle, still a hypothetical WIMP, can act. Like some kind of “mini neutrino”. If the dark matter is some kind of static quasiparticle, that opens new visions to things like quantum technology. In some models, the superposition and quantum entanglement are formed in the exciton. An exciton is the case where an electron jumps out from its position. And orbits its holes. Or it allows researchers to accomplish the quantum models.
