Ah, dark matter. Creator of the universe, sculptor of galaxies, great brewer of coffee (probably). There seems to be nothing it can’t do, or isn’t responsible for, but there’s just one problem: Where the hell is it?

The hunt for dark matter may seem at times like searching for an invisible needle in an infinite haystack, but researchers now think they may have a vital clue in its discovery. We know, you’ve heard that countless times before. Bear with us.

A team of scientists has theorized that dark matter is not the exotic particle everyone thought it would be, but is instead nothing more than a different version of the humble pion, known to science since 1935. Pions, for those who don’t know, are the particles that bind atomic nuclei together. Dark matter, the team suggests, would be similar but not exactly the same to regular pions.

Pions.

OK. I’m open to any new theories on dark matter. All the hypotheses that I know of so far have already been shot down in flames.

First one that has me thinking about it anyway.

Good luck understanding it.

Besides indirect observation of dark mattesr influence is it likely to one day be detected directly
