About this episode
A new study challenges the idea that a supermassive black hole sits at the center of the Milky Way. Instead, researchers propose a dense core of fermionic dark matter that could reproduce the same gravitational effects—explaining both the fast orbits of nearby stars and the galaxy’s large-scale rotation.The model may even account for the central shadow seen in iconic images of our galactic core. In this episode, we explore whether dark matter—not a black hole—could be the true engine shaping our galaxy.This episode includes AI-generated content.
