I'm under the impression that WIMP uses "massive" in the sense of "not-massless"?

- Sharlin 7y agoIndeed, though I believe any candidate WIMPs would also have a fairly high mass as far as fundamental particles go, at least on the order of tens of GeV (which is to say tens of times the mass of proton).
- lutorm 7y agoI think they're "massive" in relation to the weakly-interacting-and-very-much-not-massive neutrinos, which were another dark matter candidate.
