Simple theory may explain mysterious dark matter, physicists say

Very interesting, thanks.

A bit above my pay grade, but I do have a daughter who is a physicist and I look forward to read what she says.

I prefer dark matter in poultry. Chickens and turkeys have both dark and light matter, while ducks have only dark matter. I really like roast duck with plum sauce. Can’t beat that good ol’ dark matter. Can’t understand why those dweebs don’t quit screwing around with it under a microscope and just EAT it......with the proper side dishes, of course.

Thanks LibWhacker.

Theoretical physicists at Vanderbilt University... propose that most of the matter in the universe may be constructed of particles that have an abnormal, donut-shaped electromagnetic field known as an anapole.

It's a Krispy Kreme universe.

It’s the firmament? Nah, too unscientific.

[Paradox]

Finally, we need more of these theories that we can actually TEST..

[Jack Hammer]

So... this guy’s saying that there’s dark matter around your anapole?

That’s what I told my physics professor when he asked me why I hadn’t done my homework.

“I used dark matter ink. You just can’t see it.”

I could see the red ink he used to put an “F” on my paper.

What were you saying?

[Rocky]

That’s a great periodic table you’ve got there.

They propose that most of the matter in the universe may be constructed of particles that have an abnormal, donut-shaped electromagnetic field known as an anapole.

Since most of the matter is dark matter, how can we say that their construction is "abnormal"?

[RetiredTexasVet]

After reading their guesses, I personally lean towards “Pixie Dust”. It fulfills are the attributes and requirements stated in the speculation of the article. Another option would be that it is output from the E-CAT cold fusion reactor.

[West Texas Chuck]

That is GEEENYUS!

We are not worthy.

[mfish13]

Abnormal??? That is Abbie Normal to you.

An interesting sweet torus that Homie is eating...

Exactly, you caught that, too. Too much writing by the so-called professionals is obviously done with brain disconnected from fingers.
