By definition it's not baryonic, because we aren't detecting it and we would be detecting it if it were. "Dark" in this context means, in and of itself, non-bar

And please don't bring silly Star Wars references here, they don't help and this particular one is basically offensive. HN isn't reddit.
- dogma1138 8y agoNo Dark didn’t mean non baryonic at first when DM was conceived and still does not mean that today dark was just that dark as it wasn’t emitting any light we could detect which is why CBM, rogue brown dwarfs and primordial black holes were all a candidate for dark matter at some point. And thanks for the advice I’ll keep using my SW references when they are fitting and this one is fitting indeed. Here is another one just for you began the dark matter war has.
