Woah, that's kind of scary. The whole idea of dark matter is just bizarre.

Just be glad it's the WIMPy stuff, I've heard the BULLy ones are real scary.

Doh, they found our wimps! I'm not sure which is more funny. The relation to us or the fact that the initial study of wimps was posted here by Ari over 2 years ago and in the same humorous context.

 

Race is on to detect dark matter, Uh-oh!

 

 

I guess it's only a matter of time before they find the machos. ^^

 

 

Seriously though... The fact that one form has been named "wimp" and another has been named "macho" is a bit ridiculous isn't it? I mean really. Come on! What am I not getting here? I think those space nerds need to get past their image hangups, lol. It seems as though they chose the acronym first and THEN named them.
