Rumours that first dark matter particle found

• DarkShikari 17y ago
  Already apparently debunked (see the "important update"): http://resonaances.blogspot.com/2009/12/dark-matter-discovered.html http://resonaances.blogspot.com/2009/12/dark-matter-discover... I was alerted to your blog of yesterday (you certainly don't make contacting you easy). Your "fact" #1, that Nature is about to publish a CDMS paper on dark matter, is completely false. This would be instantly obvious to the most casual observer because the purported date of publication is a Friday, and Nature is published on Thursdays. Your "fact" therefore contains as much truth as the average Fox News story, and I would be grateful if you would correct it immediately. [...] Dr Leslie Sage Senior editor, physical sciences Nature

    Well, it was speculation anyway.. Physics is fortunately one of these sciences where failed experiment can considered to be a total success :)

    Dr. Sage is certainly cordial, eh? edit: actually he apologizes for his tone in a comment on the blog, so credit there.

    Well, if they got the date wrong then they must have gotten everything wrong.

  I bet it was in the last place they looked.
