RE: Puffy dark matter to reconcile observations and predictions
PS: dark matter and black holes are different beasts. Only black holes are hungry ;)
Hahaha! That metaphor is brilliant. It will definitely make me remember who eats what in the universe! Your students must be very happy with a professor like you!
For this, you may want to ask my students directly. However, the fresh ones will meet me for the first time on Monday. I will not discuss black holes but I will mention at some point Goldstone bosons (let's input another name that may sound fancy outside physics) eaten by gauge boson (here is another one :p). Physics is all about eating, as you can see :D
Hahahahaha, a lot of eating indeed :D And bosons :D Everyone is a boson out there :D These must be the cool guys :D A fresh 21st-century discovery :D (or it was just the x-boson that was discovered recently?)
Bosons are cool, but all matter is made of fermions. We actually need both :)
PS: the Higgs (not X) boson is indeed the lat one to have been discovered.
Hahahahaha, OMG, my x-boson must have made you laugh a lot! :D
In simplified dark matter models, the mediator connecting the dark sector to normal matter is sometimes an X boson. Therefore, I only half laughed as the X boson is sometimes a thing (but not the discovered thing) ^^
Oh, now I have something to rub my husband's nose in. He laughed so hard when I told him about me writing to you about the "x-boson" :D :D :D
He will maybe even laugh harder when I will discuss top models in my next post :D
