Does Dark Matter Originate From Higgs Boson? New Theory To Be Tested At CERN's LHC

Dark matter has long remained one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the universe. While its presence can be inferred from the gravitational pull it exerts on visible matter, the fact that it does not emit or absorb any radiation makes it next to impossible to detect.

...

The new model put forward by a team headed by Christoffer Petersson, a theoretical particle physicist from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, suggests that the Higgs boson, discovered by the LHC in 2012, might be responsible for the birth of dark matter particles. According to this model, if supersymmetry is real, the Higgs particle can disintegrate into a photon -- a light carrying particle -- and a dark matter particle.

...

The theory has found support among scientists at CERN, who, in the words of Tara Shears, a particle physics professor from the University of Liverpool, are looking to “break” the Standard Model.

“Instead of trying to test the truth of this theory, what we really want to do now is break it -- to show where it stops reflecting reality. That's the only way we're going to make progress,” Shears told BBC. “We're looking at something deeper and more exotic.”

It often seems that most dark matter arises from congress and the White House.

[Veggie Todd]

I usually see dark matter after Taco Tuesday.

There...fixed.

i hope they don’t cause spatial discontinuity or even a time paradox at the least a paradox event these guys have no idea what they are screwing with they could create a quantum entanglement way beyond a basic level chaos structure that is not totally understood by many if actually any at all !

[I want the USA back]

“it does not emit or absorb any radiation “
so then, is it matter?
Must be totally inert and at zero degrees absolute for that to happen. Doesn’t look like it’s matter. Better find another explanation.

Did someone say “boson”?

[9thLife]

so then, is it matter?

it doesn't matter.

BOSON? You mean those Higgs Thingies?

Never mind.

[MeshugeMikey]

Dark Matter Matters!!!

[PIF]

Just look for the photino birds ...

[mikrofon]

Boson's Mates

[Sherman Logan]

Reconciling quantum mechanics and relativity requires dark energy and dark matter to exist. We are (reasonably) sure at this point that both those theories are correct.

So there are two main possibilieis, to my mind.

Assuming the universe really exists in a multi-dimensional reality, only three (or four) of which we can perceive, possibly the extra mass and energy exists in some of those other dimensions.

Or quantum and relativity theory are fundamentally flawed and we need to go back to the drawing board and start over.

Does Dark Matter Originate From Higgs Boson?

That theory is racist.

Is Higgs Boson black?

[9thLife]

Now I see.
