The focus of the passage is actually dark matter, a mysterious substance that scientists believe makes up a significant portion of the universe's mass but haven't been able to directly detect. Traditionally, dark matter has been thought to consist of weakly interacting particles. However, the passage explores the intriguing possibility that dark matter might behave as a wave instead.
This wave dark matter would be composed of ultralight particles, millions or even billions of times lighter than an electron. The sheer number of these particles would compensate for their minuscule mass, allowing them to contribute substantially to the universe's total mass. The wave nature of dark matter has interesting implications. It suggests that dark matter could interact with Earth's ionosphere, potentially generating radio waves that we might be able to detect.
The passage also briefly mentions a local news report about a house fire likely caused by a lithium-powered golf cart, and an act of heroism by an FDNY EMT who rescued people from a rip current. These were likely included in the original source material the passage was derived from, but they are not the main focus.
