Boson Clouds

Ok … so the latest gnome almost made me laugh …

Could gravitational waves help us find dark matter?

Astronomers use super-sensitive instruments to look for boson clouds, a leading contender for dark matter.
Boson clouds … the latest glittering dark matter related gnome … which they claim gravitational detectors will be able to detect.

But then I remembered that they have to have some new wild eyed theory to justify the more than one BILLION dollars that they’ve already spent on LIGO, the $200 million+ spent on Japan’s KAGRA detector so far, the unknown cost of Europe's Virgo detector (in Italy) (unknown because they seem particularly reticent to publish ANY cost numbers. But, from the looks of it, it’s probably at least several hundred million dollars), the $177 million estimated for India’s LIGO, plus what’s projected for improvements to each of those detectors (hundreds of millions of dollars, in some cases), plus what's projected for NEW gravitational wave detectors (at a billion plus dollars each), such as the 3rd generation (3G) gravitational network, the Einstein Telescope (actually, $2 billion for this one), a US gravitational wave space antenna (LAGRANGE?), a European Space Based GW Observatory (LISA?), plus any number of other toys that they’ll dream up and insist are essential to detect gravity waves. And all that’s not even counting what China, Russia and the rest of the world are spending on this stuff. With all that, maybe they will find boson clouds. Or claim they have, invoking some additional gnome.

LOL! You can almost be certain it’s bogus science when they make statements like this …

https://scitechdaily.com/discovering-da ... ack-holes/
In a recent international study in the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration, with OzGrav Associate Investigator Dr. Lilli Sun from the Australian National University being one of the leading researchers, a team of scientists carried out the very first all-sky search tailored for these predicted gravitational wave signals from boson clouds around rapidly spinning black holes. 

… snip …

“We learned that a particular type of boson clouds younger than 1000 years is not likely to exist anywhere in our Galaxy, while such clouds that are up to 10 million years old are not likely to exist within about 3260 light-years from Earth,” says Dr. Sun.
3260 light years? Are they sure it’s not 3270? Or 3200? Such precision in that number is a JOKE. And come on … *Dr* Lilli (Ling) Sun’s first publication was in 2020. She’s so new to this that her bio (https://www.lingsun.org/home ) lists her “student projects”. And this article about this study … http://www.sci-news.com/astronomy/ultra ... 10325.html … which also has the quote by *Dr* Sun above, links to this paper documenting the study … https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.15507 … and it doesn’t mention 3260 anything. So where’d that number come from? But it does have over 1660 authors! LOL! Who do they think they are fooling? This is really all about the number of mouths they need to feed. No wonder the mainstream can’t let their gnomes die. They'll dream up ANY nonsense to keep the funding spigot open. Just saying ...

Maybe 'boson clouds' could explain dark matter

… snip …

It's an interesting idea, but how could you prove it? It turns out that since scalar bosons interact gravitationally, they also interact with gravitational waves. Depending on their mass, scalar bosons might also decay by emitting gravitons. As a result, scalar bosons could create long-lasting gravitational waves that have a similar frequency. It's the gravitational equivalent of a faint hum. So the team looked at gravitational wave data from LIGO and Virgo. They looked for evidence of a gravitational hum in the 20 to 600 Hz range and found nothing. Based on their work, the authors conclude that there are no young scalar boson clouds in our galaxy. There are also no old and cold scalar boson clouds within 3,000 light-years of Earth.

... snip ... In our search to discover what it is, we continue to find out what it is not.
Again, I see nothing in the paper I linked earlier (the study to which I think they are referring) that says anything about 3000 light years. But that last statement is certainly true.
