Ghost Stars: Invisible Stellar Objects Could Solve Dark Matter Mystery

For generations, science has searched the darkness for the matter that holds galaxies together, finding only silence where its leading theory promised answers. Now, a quieter candidate has emerged from the margins: dark bosons, particles that carry force rather than mass, which may coalesce into invisible 'ghost stars' drifting unseen through the cosmos. Anomalies in underground detectors, laser experiments, and a gravitational wave event that defied explanation are converging into a portrait of a universe stranger than the one we thought we knew. The hunt for dark matter may not be ending — i
