For decades, astrophysicists have pondered the odd movements of galaxies across the cosmos. The visible matter of the universe appears to be tugged around by an invisible counterpart, material that does not interact with surrounding matter in any observable way save gravity: dark matter. Refined measurements have since led scientists to hypothesize that 85 percent of all the matter in the universe is dark matter, while only 15 percent accounts for you, me, the planet, the stars, and everything else we can see.
It's a satisfactory explanation for our observations that has one major problem: a dark matter particle has never been detected directly. But the search for elusive dark matter is about to get a shot in the arm, and rather than looking for evidence of the substance written in the stars, scientists are constructing ambitious experiments deep underground.
The SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, partnered with Stanford University and multiple additional labs and universities around the world, just announced that the U.S. Department of Energy has approved funding and construction a of dark matter experiment 6,800 feet underground in an old nickel mine. The project, called the SuperCDMS SNOLAB experiment, will use supercooled silicon and germanium crystals in an attempt to detect dark matter particles as they pass through our planet. The experiment is expected to be 50 times more sensitive than previous efforts, and it is slated to come online in the early 2020s.

Dark matter matters.
This isn’t new. I saw a discovery channel show years ago where they were doing dark matter experiments deep underground.
I read about those. So far nothing detected.
It’s got to be somewhere...
If you’re 8000 feet underground, and the lights aren’t on, all the matter around you is dark matter.
No it doesn't. This is the latest example of physicists saying "trust us, we're smarter than you" without any evidence to back up their claims. Gravity has a multiplying effect in planetary and stellar motion, so it is the simplest answer (Occam's Razor). They may be correct and there is a substance called "Dark Matter", but for a collective group of people who shun the thought of an Almighty God, they are rather hypocritical to tell us to just have faith.
All matter matters.
I liked that show. Sad it got cancelled.
Arm-waving is so much more fun when you get government grants!
They had to invent the words “dark matter” and “dark energy” because their sacred equations don’t explain reality!
Idiots! your equations are wrong! find equations that explain reality and you’ll be really smart.
Dark matter has been identified for quite a while now. Credit goes to Dr. Randell Mills, founder and CEO of Brilliant Light Power, for his paradigm-shifting technology that generates lower-energy states of hydrogen, along with huge amounts of power, the characterization studies of which precisely match the signatures of dark matter.
I wonder how much a vat of 10 tons of liquid Xenon costs..
Yes, their sacred equations ARE wrong precisely because they made it all up, adding new variables and dimensions of reality (up to 13 now, I believe - I lost track). It took the genius of Dr. Randell Mills to find the right equations - closed-form equations with no variables, accurate up to 8 decimal places, the limit of measurements - that accurately describe reality.
Here, you can look it up and download Dr. Mills’ Grand Unified Theory based on classical physics, and use his modeling software that gives the exact solutions to properties of atoms, molecules, and compounds:

A real scientist would question the basic theory that requires invisible undetectable phenomena to work. Otherwise it’s indistinguishable from theology.
It is pretty dark a mile underground so it is a good start.
Keep digging.
i know- i was just making a funny
It was funny. I just had to vent. Mea culpa...
You're kidding, right?
