I Dark Matter Particles: College Student Seeking Theorem Evidence

AI Thread Summary
A college student is seeking information and evidence regarding dark matter particles to develop a theorem. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the current state of research and suggests that a thorough review of relevant literature is essential. It emphasizes that there are no credible alternatives to the particle hypothesis for dark matter, as all theories leading to dark matter-like results manifest in particle form. Additionally, the conversation points out that particles with plausible mass correlate with plausible temperature. The thread concludes with gratitude for the shared insights.

I am in college and trying to develop a theorem, If there is any information there is any papers or evidence to dark matter being particles could you please tell me as it will do me a great favor. Thank you for reading

You cannot "develop a theorem" (at least not a useful one) without knowing the current state of the research. And by that I don't mean "read a few papers", I mean "know all the relevant literature".
There is no plausible alternative to particles, every field that can lead to dark-matter-like results will appear in the form of particles.
Particles with a plausible mass also lead to a plausible temperature. Here are some slides.

thank you very much for informing me of this and i hope you have a pleasent day
 
Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...
This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
How does light maintain enough energy in the visible part of the spectrum for the naked eye to see in the night sky. Also, how did it start of in the visible frequency part of the spectrum. Was it, for example, photons being ejected at that frequency after high energy particle interaction. Or does the light become visible (spectrum) after hitting our atmosphere or space dust or something? EDIT: Actually I just thought. Maybe the EM starts off as very high energy (outside the visible...
