New analysis suggests the Bullet Cluster may contain less dark matter

New analysis of the Bullet Cluster suggests it may contain significantly less dark matter than previously believed. Researchers propose that stellar remnants like white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes could account for up to half the expected dark matter. Modified gravity theories might even eliminate the need for dark matter entirely. This study utilized the James Webb Space Telescope data and a specific star formation model, challenging established dark matter theories and sparking debate within the scientific community.
