WIMPs: cool stuff that could be what Dark Matter is made of

<p>First of all it should not interact with photons (light) &mdash; or else we&rsquo;d be able to see them and we can&rsquo;t see them.</p> <p>It cannot interact via the strong force or electromagnetic force &mdash; or else we&rsquo;d be able to detect it through those interactions with baryonic matter*, like for example, we know it doesn&rsquo;t interact via the strong force because otherwise it would interact with cosmic rays. (*baryonic matter is just the matter made up of protons and neutrons, all the normal matter. Baryon means that it is made of 3 quarks (you can google standard model picture to see what a quark is) just like protons and neutrons)</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@quantumsanykta_92438/wimps-cool-stuff-that-could-be-what-dark-matter-is-made-of-92a645283a9a"><strong>Learn More</strong></a></p>
