    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.
