First collisions at the LHC with unprecedented Energy! (Ask a particle physisicist)

[JuliaL]

We're on the same wavelength in that respect then - I also have no idea what I'm asking
So you're saying that dark matter is most likely composed of multiple different kinds of as yet undiscovered particles, rather than a catchall single kind of matter? In any case it seems to be this decade's 'superpower-giving radiation' in The Flash, and one of the few holdouts in the 'science is spooky and dangerous' genre overall

It could very well be that Dark Matter is composed of several different kinds of undiscovered particles - it's not a given that the "dark sector" has a very simple structure with just one additional particle floating around. However, with the two alternatives I mentioned above, at the simplest level, just having either the one or the other would suffice.

Is it intentional that physicists produce only enough experimental data and interpretation to raise more questions and confusion?  Or is it a fortuitous accident that gives good and sufficient reason to continue funding experimental programs.

Dark matter only weakly interacts with the 'real' (anthropic bias noted here) stuff.
Is there any reason to believe that it interacts with itself with the same complex, chaotic results as does real matter?
Could there then be the sort of structure found in our universe, dark suns, dark planets, cladistic trees of evolved dark animals?
Would it coexist in the same spacetime on top of us but because of the weak interactions, we wouldn't know it?

And would it be superman bizzarro universe or the evil Captain Kirk universe?
