Undergrad What Are the Leading Theories Explaining Dark Matter?

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around researching theories of dark matter for an astrophysics presentation. Participants recommend resources such as Wikipedia and arXiv for comprehensive information. There is confusion regarding a New Scientist article, with some asserting it pertains to dark matter while others clarify it discusses baryonic matter instead. The conversation highlights the importance of reading articles thoroughly to avoid misunderstandings. The consensus emphasizes that current theories, including WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles), should be included in the presentation.

As pointed out multiple times, the article has nothing to do with dark matter, the thread has been off-topic since post 5. I closed it.
