"fuzzy dark matter" meaning in English

See fuzzy dark matter in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: From the lack of definition (fuzziness) due to the wave-like nature of fuzzy dark matter, unlike the particle-like of hot dark matter and cold dark matter. Etymology templates: {{l|en|fuzziness}} fuzziness, {{l|en|hot dark matter}} hot dark matter, {{l|en|cold dark matter}} cold dark matter Head templates: {{en-noun|-|head=fuzzy dark matter}} fuzzy dark matter (uncountable)
  1. (physics, cosmology, astronomy) A type of dark matter with very low particle mass, with concomitant very large de Broglie wavelength (such as wavelength on the order of kiloparsecs), resulting in a population of overlapping waves, and concentrations of this dark matter modeled as fields and interference patterns, over astronomical and cosmological distances.
