minus-squareAisteruAlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·18 days ago The new result is nearly five times better than the previous world’s best published result and finds no evidence of WIMPs above a mass of 9 GeV/c2. That’s pretty neat. I wonder if we’re getting close, or if we are making mistaken assumptions.
minus-squareInvertedParallax@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·18 days agoGiven the behavior wimps are either much lower energy, but a lot of them, or purely virtual artifacts, potentially of quantum effects. Once you go below a certain threshold the difference becomes less meaningful.
minus-squareAisteruAlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·18 days agoI really like the different theories SpaceTime showcases, it really triggers the imagination :) I recommend them, if you don’t know about them
minus-squareInvertedParallax@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·18 days agoIs that a show or something? Sounds like one of the old PBS ones I saw 20 years ago or so.
