Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have taken a detailed look at the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way, Sgr A*, finding it endlessly blowing bubbles.

For these and other articles you post about published research it would be REALLY helpful if you clearly added the link to the journal article in question, such as below the heading. E.g. for this it would be: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/ada88b.

Problem : black hole jets

Assumption: When the black hole accretion disk begins to heat up it also causes the jets of gaseous dark matter to explode straight out of the poles of the co-rotating sphere of liquid dark matter in such a strong steady stream that it carry’s plasma and liquid dark matter with it. Once the jet begins to slow and spread out the turbulence allows the zero gravity equivalent to affect some of the liquid dark matter carried in the jet. This releases more heat and the expansion further accelerates the jet. This can repeat multiple times along the jet. The heat released in these phase transitions also ionizes the plasma which builds on the magnetic fields along the jets.

Problem : heating at the edge of the galactic halo

Assumption: anywhere that liquid dark matter is exposed to zero g or equivalent it flashes to gaseous dark matter and releases heat.

circulating dark matter

Dark matter is originally started circulating by matter accreting to form stars and black holes. Dark matter flashes before raining back down and thus it is slowly brought up to speed by the inward motions of normal matter. ie planets, stars, solar systems and galaxies, all of which have their own circulation patterns. The larger the circulation the more gas and dust is accelerated by the pattern. Dark matter is like the ocean it has currents and streams. It also has different salinities (concentrations of normal matter) depending on how much dust and gas has been accumulated. Where these flows intersect or cross there are collisions of normal matter which give off radio waves. Individually they are too small to be detected. But if you look down a stream you see the cumulative effect from the stream and the galactic halo interactions behind it which add up to something we can detect. On a galactic scale the dark (water) cycle determines how much dark matter a galaxy has.

If regular matter is moving past stationary dark matter, it seems reasonable for the dark matter to be gravitationally attracted to it and tend to move with the regular matter. That would be especially true if the regular matter stream was non-uniform in mass distribution.

On the other hand, postulating all sort of phases for dark matter has a problem with dark matter not appearing to either absorb or emit photons, which are the main ways that regular matter heats and cools in space. So, unless there is some sort of "dark photon" that can serve that purpose for dark matter, cycles of heating and cooling become hard to explain for dark matter. And, unless dark matter has properties similar to regular matter atoms, postulating that it changes phases as it heats and cools is another problem with the idea that does not seem to have any observational support.

Considering that it seems to be much m ore abundant than regular matter, it is not unreasonable to suspect that dark matter is not all the same. But, without any actual detection, so far, it is not proper to claim that some postulated black matter phenomenon "is" the case. Better to recognize that it "might be" the case.
