If the soul has materialistic properties, then it can in theory be put to use.

Here is a thought - burning souls to make local energy. Hell, all the local republicans would love to give that a chance!

Well telekenisis has to work somehow so obviously the soul is used to move objects! You can build the strength of your soul using homeopathic remedies, chakra alignment, and Kundalini yoga. /sarcasm

Dark matter is composed of weakly interacting massive particles. They are suspected to have influence in expanding our universe because their aggregate interactions affect things on a galactic scale despite their individual weakness.

It is known that neutrinos help alpha radiation progress. It may be discovered that these WIMPs have hitherto unknown affects.

Why are massive particles only weekly interactive? What do you mean neutrinos aid in alpha radition progress? You mean they push them through space? Or help them get a job?

Because they are non-baryonic matter?

Neutrinos are part of the alpha radiation processes - they interact (very rarely) with unstable nuclei to cause a split.

@ The OP

Perhaps you should talk to your wife about the burden of proof.

So you are claiming it is baryons that distort space to cause gravity.

Dark stars are fairly unsupported at this point, most of the theorizing about them is in regards to Dark matter stars forming in the early universe, however the solid data we have on dark matter (gravitational inference for the most part) shows mostly nothing of the kind, rather it implies fairly consistently proportioned matter surrounding normal-matter.



As for the baryonic relation, is is believed some baryonic matter contributes to the formation of a very small portion of Dark Matter structures, but the most convincing ideas IMO are that of Dark matter being made up of ultra-relativistic WIMPS (which are coincidentally believed to be a primary portion of the missing matter in both cosmology and particle physics) that interact neither with the Electromagnetic or strong nuclear forces ,meaning that they move too fast to clump together, do not radiate energy (non-visible) and have very minute interactions with other matter. This gives us a fairly good explanation as to why Dark matter appears to be so uniformly spread.

Your wife relating this to spirituality is typical jumping-the-gun idiocy.

Haven't we created small amounts of dark matter using the hadron collider? I thought it was already known that dark matter is a substance that annhilates when it comes into contact with matter.

antimatter is what annihilates when in contact with matter; dark matter is not antimatter. I have not read that the LHC has produced dark matter.
