3.1 Next Steps in the Search for Dark Matter
Discussion
NoteIn her lecture, Professor Freese focuses on methods to detect WIMPs. After several years of experimentation raising little to no confidence in WIMPs, there's now an ongoing push to build super-sensitive equipment as a last resort. However, in 2020, there was some buzz over a potential detection of either axions or sterile neutrinos in the XENON1T experiment in Italy. In 2021, the PandaX-II experiment in China arrived at similar results. Although nothing is conclusive yet, these experiments are set to be repeated with upgraded equipment to reduce background noise and hopefully, increase confidence in the results.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
My last post was more a concern of the day i think. Lots of covid challenges occured. Airborn is no fun when it burns the lungs.
Hopefully Prof. Freese has had time with JWST to find the huge star she was looking for.
Even remnants would be good, as Prof. Priya also shares the idea of enormous stars in the beginning days.CLG🙂🍵☕🍵🍵

hmm, what if, virtual particles produce a gravity halo that then collapses with the annihilation of the particles, causing repulsion, whereas non-virtual particles create that same halo without a collapse combines and strengthens from more and more particles causing higher attraction than the particles themselves are capable of, and those halos intersect in galactic clusters holding them tighter as well. How that can be checked other than going through past data and finding a correlation that shows it, I’m not quite sure. Sometimes I feel I should just say ‘I don’t know’ and leave it at that, but I can’t keep my mouth shut because I don’t know and I want to know.
