It's a WAVE!

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.
There’s a conundrum facing physicists: Most of the universe’s mass appears to be missing, based on observations of the universe’s 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 we’re alive here on Earth can offer some insight as to what dark matter isn’t, and the researchers behind the new paper say the human body itself can serve as a dark matter detector.

I’ve got some in my basement.....................somewhere..............
It might not be dark either
That’s true!
It might be ‘light’!......................
Hmmm? How many billions have died since the big bang?
Prove, or at least give me a plausibility argument that, say, old age isn’t caused by dark mater induced degradation.
Let alone the insanities that lead to violence on the retail level as murder and mayhem, or wholesale wars.
You might call it dark matter on grey matter violence...
*ouch*
"Sorry, teacher...dark matter ate my homework."
Perhaps those killed by "Spontaneous Combustion" are examples?
For example, see:

Here’s the main claim of the paper:
Most recently, scientists Jagjit Singh Sidhu and Glenn Starkman, both from Case Western Reserve University, and Robert J. Scherrer from Vanderbilt University considered another class of particles that would be macroscopic, and around or less massive than a human being. But here’s the thing: If such a particle existed, and given how much dark matter we expect there to be in the universe, such a particle should at some point have caused an unexplained gunshot-like wound in a human being, according to the paper published on the arXiv physics preprint server.
Some of the comments about Dark Matter on this thread make Conservatives look stupid.
I saw what you did there...chuckle. ;>)
New defense in murder trials: It wasn’t me, he was killed by dark matter but it’s invisible and undetectable so that’s why there is no evidence to clear me!

Perfect!
“Why Has No One Been Killed by Dark Matter?”
I liked the plot of the first few episodes, but didn’t stick around until the series’ death.
Because you have to eat just too damned much Arby’s to ingest a fatal dose.
Didn't one of Spinal Tap's drummers die of that?
Or was it choking on his own vomit?
Dark matter, same same as the evolutionary theorists ‘millions and millions of years’ mantra.
