Why does not dark matter gather and form celestial bodies?

$begingroup$


since the only thing we know about dark matter that it "attracts" and affect our Baryonic matter's momentum and speed, which means that it does have mass of a sort.



so why didn't we witness a darkmatter-darkmatter interactions in form of collisions of celestial bodies like stars, Black holes or other distinct things, what do we know about that?



PS: it would be very helpful for me if someone has an answer can cite it with a paper on the topic. thanks in advance!

The standard answer is that dark matter does not seem to interact strongly with itself (although self-interacting dark matter is an active research topic), and does not emit electromagnetic radiation. The latter property means that a clump of dark matter cannot lose energy by radiating it away, and will remain a diffuse clump. Ordinary matter can coalesce, heat up, radiate away the energy, and coalesce further. Hence dark matter seems to form diffuse halos that do not form celestial bodies.

            up vote 6 down vote favorite 1 This program is for count number of partitions of a set with n elements into k subsets I am confusing here return k*countP(n-1, k) + countP(n-1, k-1); can some one explain what is happening here? why we are multiplying with k?

            A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

            Image
            0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
