Researchers at the XENON dark matter observatory have spotted something incredibly rare. Unfortunately, it’s not dark matter, but it is the next best thing. The detectors at the observatory have spotted the decay of xenon-124, the rarest event ever recorded in human history.
The XENON experiment is designed to detect dark matter, which is not an easy task. The reason that dark matter is so mysterious is that it pretty much never does anything, which makes it hard to spot. Dark matter doesn’t give off light, or have any sort of magnetic field, and it almost never interacts with normal matter in any way.

A democrat spoke the truth?

Replace “dark matter” with “santa clause” and it’s funnier. :)

Work with it all the time.
So lazy.
Kinda like A Democrat voter....................
Post a science-related article and all the comments are crude jokes.
Government worker?...............I know, it’s an oxymoron.............
Oh, some of them are pretty good!...........
[[Dark Matter Scientists Observe the Rarest Event in History]]
The rarest event? I think not- getting my ex girlfriend to admit she was wrong is the rarest event evah
It must be on welfare...
Truly lol
Dark matter moves faster than the speed of light.
You're welcome.
It’s what we do.
Sorry, no. A Democrat tax cut plan is the rarest event ever recorded in human history.
Rare because there hasn't been a recorded instance of it. It *could* happen, theoretically since it wouldn't violate causality or conservation laws.
Fascinating. As a non-scientist I will confess that at times I’ve been skeptical whether dark matter exists or if it was invented to make the models work.
Darth Matter ping.
“The reason that dark matter is so mysterious is that it pretty much never does anything, which makes it hard to spot. Dark matter doesn’t give off light, or have any sort of magnetic field, and it almost never interacts with normal matter in any way.”
Yes, and after all of this time, scientists have made this amazing discovery by spending only a tiny fraction of the tax $$$ they had available to them. Obviously, much more $$$ will be required for further study of this vital phenomenon.
Of course, I could have conducted the study at a very substantial savings of dollars to the poor, overburdened taxpayers!
