A team of theoretical physicists in India has shown that gravitational waves could reveal the role that dark matter could play in transforming neutron stars into black holes.

It’s an interesting idea, ta.

This is another one. The interaction between dark matter and normal matter is extremely weak, so weak that our most advanced measurements can’t see it. This interaction is in fact at least 100 times as weak as predicted by supersymmetry, which is a good reason for rejecting supersymmetry.

On the other hand, it requires an enormous amount of matter interaction to bump up the mass of a neutron star up to the point where it becomes a black hole. So enormous that it’s never been observed to have been caused by the slow infalling of any type of matter, dark or otherwise.

So no.
