More interesting lead

In a small town in North Dakota, dark matter is casting a dark shadow on scientific opportunity 


“If it ends up that dark matter is not made of WIMPs, it will be much more disappointing in a philosophical sense than in a personal sense, in that humankind won’t know what dark matter is,” Shutt says.

Possible lead that I hope is more interesting?


Physicists in South Dakota are attempting to shed light on a dark matter. Dark matter could potentially hold the key to theories on the universe. 


Today, most (but by no means all) physicists agree that dark matter exists, and that it is probably made up of what they call WIMPs, or weakly interacting massive particles. “Massive” doesn’t mean that the particles are large, but that they have mass and therefore both respond to and cause gravitational pull. “Weakly interacting” means that the particles, despite having mass, nonetheless only rarely interact with matter. Scientists also assume that WIMPs are electromagnetically neutral, which is why we can’t see them.


As revolutionary a concept this is, the truth is that no one has ever directly observed the stuff.




from there I have writers block ...
