[edit] Sterile Neutrinos
Sterile Neutrinos is currently a hot candidate for Dark Matter. The standard model presumes that there are 3 neutrinos (electron, mu and tau) and that they're massless. They provenly aren't massless, effectively killing the standard model. A minimalist patch to allow neutrinos with mass is the seesaw mechanism which requires 2 extra neutrinos. The article WP:Sterile Neutrino has some links indicating a possibility that sterile neutrinos are on the verge to be discovered. My previous googlings indicate that sterile neutrino is hot stuff within theoretical physics, partially because the current accelerators are quite capable to detect these sterile neutrinos if given long enough time to run.

[edit] Dark matter
... is merely ordinary matter on the 'other side' of the next-up equivalent of the Moebius strip and the Klein bottle object that the universe is. 212.85.6.26 (talk) 17:29, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
