Fundamentally, #SuperCDMS is a bunch of really awesome people trying very hard to solve one of the most difficult questions in the universe: why won’t most of the matter in this universe talk to us #atoms?

Being #atomic matter is lonely, it turns out. Having great colleagues in a dedicated collaboration makes the loneliness more tolerable. Maybe, together, we can do what no atomic matter on Earth has ever done before: directly engage with the dominant #darkmatter of this universe.

I am super-excited to welcome @ @supercdms.bsky.social to the Fediverse! The Super Cryogenic #DarkMatter Search is a @snolabscience.bsky.social -hosted ultra-sensitive instrument intended to hunt for constituents of dark matter.

#SuperCDMS recently passed a bunch of milestones, including achieving their operational target temperature … just thousandths of a degree above ABSOLUTE ZERO!

Welcome to the #Fediverse! I encourage dark-matter-curious fedizens to follow!

“Beyond ΛCDM: How the SLRPS Field Replaces Dark Matter and Dark Energy Through Present‑Tense Electromagnetic Propagation in NACM Cosmology.”

This paper introduces SLRPS — a structural EM signature that replaces the photon‑centric assumptions behind dark matter and dark energy.

I built this model independently.

I was delighted to be able to visit the #ErnestRutherford Museum at #McGillUniversity when I was recently in #Montreal. I spotted this gem in a display case. The docent recalled the story of Harriett Brooks. It rang a bell, and when I got home I cracked open Dava Sobel’s “The Elements of Marie Curie”. Sure enough, Brooks has a whole chapter devoted to her.

The “new gas from radium” is now called “radon” and it’s critical to the research I and many others do in the search for #DarkMatter.

Gamma Ray Anomaly Hints at Dark Matter Presence, Sparking Scientific Debate

New gamma ray signals from space could be dark matter. Scientists are debating if this is the first direct sign of dark matter. Find out what it means.

Scientists found a new signal in space that might be dark matter. This signal is like a halo of gamma rays, which is what some theories predicted dark matter would look like.
