Aside from the nice picture and the brilliant flight to to Earth Moon of the Indian space craft....the 'related articles below' such as...'Dark matter at CERN....'...'Richard Feynman...dissertation on Boltzman brain'...have NOT much to do with the Chandrayann-1.....They appears to be 'Uncorrelated subjects' ???

As 1st point the WIMPS have NOT a mass of 100Protons...as mentioned at one of the references(Astronomers aim to...)...in fact at the CERN the definition of WIMPS is : "very elusive ...micro particle that might have a mass of 1/1000 of that of the Electron"......'howeber it is still to be assessed if they have a mass at all'.

Sorry for the article in reference but the 'proton' is not normally used for measuring or comparing MASS of particles.

LHC is a Hadron Large Collider...whereas the Hadron if created in the large collider would explain a lot about the 'Higgs Boson'...a magics particle...theorized in maths but never created.

Hadrons are thought to be so instable that their average life could last 1 micro second or 1 nano (10e-9 ) second...or the like short time....and they might have been part of the very early universe....and for this very reason are considered Important.

Hadrons ,if created at the CERN LHC , have NOTHING to do with WIMPS...that in turn seem to have NO correlation with Dark Matter....as WIMPS may have 'NO MASS at ALL'.

Yes agreed that when we enter the world of pico particles there is a lot of confusion around....a LOT.

Sorry for these clarifications...

Regards
