All about WIMPS.

Yesterday I was about one quarter through my walk when I realized that I wasn't shuffling, I was really walking with a normal stride. Something I had not done in months. Something was working. I'll credit it to the mediation in a Schrodinger's cat sense.
I'm almost finished with the book referencing dark matter and dark energy. It still amazes me that everything we see and know about only represents a small fraction of everything that 'exists'. But now I know that we are searching for particles known as WIMPS. It stands for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles. A reflection of the elusive neutrino with a mass so small it was originally thought to have no mass! It's possible that the WIMPs are what comprise the dark matter. But how to explain it?
On another topic, maybe the Large Hadron Collider will show us gravity in the eleventh dimension which leaks into our three dimensions. This explains why gravity is so weak a force compared to the other forces.
As to dark energy..... that's next.
The big unknowns in science are what suggest that we're all on this flight together.
