The discussion centers on the quest for evidence supporting the existence of dark matter particles. Participants emphasize the necessity of understanding the current state of research and literature before attempting to develop a theorem. They assert that all credible theories regarding dark matter lead to particle-like results, and that particles with plausible mass correlate with plausible temperatures. A reference to a relevant article on super-heavy dark matter particles is provided as a starting point for further exploration.
PREREQUISITESCollege students, researchers in astrophysics, and anyone interested in the theoretical foundations of dark matter and particle physics.
thank you very much for informing me of this and i hope you have a pleasent daymfb said:You cannot "develop a theorem" (at least not a useful one) without knowing the current state of the research. And by that I don't mean "read a few papers", I mean "know all the relevant literature".
There is no plausible alternative to particles, every field that can lead to dark-matter-like results will appear in the form of particles.
Particles with a plausible mass also lead to a plausible temperature. Here are some slides.
