SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the feasibility of massless particles forming nanotubes capable of trapping other particles to give them mass. Participants concluded that massless particles cannot create such structures, and therefore, these nanotubes do not relate to dark matter. The definitive answer provided is that neither the formation of mass-giving nanotubes by massless particles nor their connection to dark matter is possible.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of particle physics concepts, particularly massless particles.
