Researchers have discovered that gravitational waves from the Big Bang's earliest moments may have transformed into the dark matter that shapes galaxies today. This breakthrough helps explain one of astronomy's greatest mysteries—where the universe's invisible backbone comes from—by connecting two fundamental phenomena that scientists have long studied separately.
