The fact that no one has died from being struck by dark matter is enough proof to rule out certain ideas about the mysterious stuff, according to one new theory paper.
Theres a conundrum facing physicists: Most of the universes mass appears to be missing, based on observations of the universes structure, how galaxies move, and how they seem to warp distant light. Thousands of physicists are now hunting for what might be producing these effects. But the mere fact that were alive here on Earth can offer some insight as to what dark matter isnt, and the researchers behind the new paper say the human body itself can serve as a dark matter detector.

There’s a ping list here on the subject.

If it would look like a gunshot wound, maybe Chicago is the place to look.

~~~
Is that really the right way to word that?
If it’s not observable it doesn’t mean it’s not measurable. Most phenomenon in physics are not visible.
No click from me.
I do wonder sometimes if some phenomenon are cross dimensional though. IE; matter doesn’t exist in a spatial locality in the third dimension but can still exert measurable properties.

That explains the bullet sized hole in Ron Brown’s head and why his plane crashed.

I said this some time ago. If dark matter exists my lawn should be covered in it.

he wants to see data that shows theyre arent actually some number of unexplained, gunshot-like wounds happening around the world. what about spontaneous combustion?

Is this the Dark Matter Lives Matter failing of Dark Matter created magic to make Gravity Driven Cosmologys oh-so-beautiful equations actually work? Must be. Dark Matter was created as a fudge factor when the equations failed to describe actual REALITY. When the fudge factor of the magically created and added Dark Matter was not enough, they physicists subsequently added Dark Energy as a countering fudge factor.
However, there is an alternative cosmology which requires no fudging of its equations to describe reality. Its equations actually will predict what will be seen in future probes, and has made such predictions successfully, while Gravity Driven Cosmologists are perpetually surprised, shocked, and stunned when their predictions fail, time and time again. That alternative cosmology is the Electric/Plasma Universe Cosmology which states that a force 39 orders of magnitude greater than gravity and equally infinite in reach is actually the driving force controlling the Universe.

How do they know?
They don’t even have a sample of “dark matter.”

Why you be hatin’? Why you be sayin’ “dark Matter”? Why it can’t be “invisible matter”? why you gots to always be hatin’?

Like neutrinos. No mass, no charge, but their presence solve unworkable equations pretty well.

I’m still trying to figure out where Spock got all that Red Matter in the Abrams rebooted Star Trek Movie.
