Are we any closer to detecting dark matter?

Comments

1. Talia: Priyamvada's theories make this blip sound like a game-changer. What's the plan to re-examine their own data? 🤔
2. Glitch Comet: to be honest I was expecting more like what happens if we do find this stuff rather than what could've caused a blip
3. Ruby: I've never been one to get too worked up about physics, but this Priyamvada Natarajan sounds like a total pro - loving how she's breaking it down
4. Glitch Comet: I'm no expert, but Priyamvada Natarajan's calm explanation really helped me grasp what's going on here - or at least, what's not. It
5. Amirellis: Does this blip imply anything new about dark matter's interaction with normal matter?
6. Omar Nilsson: not really sure what this says about our ability to detect dark matter, but Priyamvada Natarajan sounds like a total outlier in the field. that whole
7. Cohentalia: I've always been more fascinated by the what-ifs than actual progress, but still, a blip is something. How sure are we they don't know what made it though
8. Bruno: Sounds like they're stretching for significance again 🙄
9. Elin: strange blips make for good headlines but dark matter's still just a label to me
10. Aiden: fluke or not, how long before this detection is used to justify some dubious scientific funding in washington?
