The new result is nearly five times better than the previous world’s best published result and finds no evidence of WIMPs above a mass of 9 GeV/c2.

That's pretty neat. I wonder if we're getting close, or if we are making mistaken assumptions.

Given the behavior wimps are either much lower energy, but a lot of them, or purely virtual artifacts, potentially of quantum effects.

Once you go below a certain threshold the difference becomes less meaningful.

I really like the different theories SpaceTime showcases, it really triggers the imagination :) I recommend them, if you don't know about them

Is that a show or something? Sounds like one of the old PBS ones I saw 20 years ago or so.

It is most likely exactly that :) They made quite a few videos on papers proposing alternative theories for gravity
