'Dark stars' could be the seeds of supermassive black holes, scientists say

Scientists have identified a persistent gravitational wave background as potentially originating from “dark stars,” ancient celestial objects believed to have played a crucial role in the formation of supermassive black holes. These dark stars are described as producing a continuous, low-level hum detectable through gravitational waves across the universe. Researchers hypothesize these remnants acted as progenitors for the earliest supermassive black holes observed today. Evidence suggests that these ‘dark stars’ existed billions of years ago, contributing significantly to the evolution of galaxies. Further study is needed to fully understand the nature and characteristics of these enigmatic cosmic entities and their impact on galactic development.
