Excerpting from the site linked above:
"Andrei Derevianko, a professor of physics at the University of Nevada, Reno, and Maxim Pospelov, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Victoria, British Columbia, have proposed that dark matter isn't made of particles at all. The researchers think dark matter may be a topological defect — a kind of tear in the fabric of space-time that can't be repaired." [End excerpt]
Being the genius that I am (LOL!), I have long thought that dark matter will not be described by particle physics.
I have proposed a more descriptive name for dark matter, which is, Anomalous Gravity Source.
That is because, the only evidence we have for the existence of dark matter is its gravity field.
The conventional explanation for gravity involves the curvature of space-time induced by matter.
However, the original violence which inflated space may very well have contorted space-time in other ways
than by the production of particles, including in ways that persist to this day, which we have termed as dark matter.
Where do I get my Nobel Prize?
