   What are Wimps in the universe today?

   • Universe Today What are WIMPs? WIMPs are Weakly Interacting Massive Particles, hypothetical particles which may be the main (or only) component of Dark Matter, a form of matter which emits and absorbs no light and which comprises approx 75% of all mass in the observable universe.

   Do WIMPs exist in nature?

   • Although the existence of WIMPs in nature is still hypothetical, it would resolve a number of astrophysical and cosmological problems related to dark matter. There is consensus today among astronomers that most of the mass in the Universe is indeed dark.

   Are there any experiments looking for WIMPs?

   • There are quite a few experiments – active or planned – looking for WIMPs; some Universe Today stories on them are New Proposal to Search for Dark Matter, Searching for Dark Matter Particles Here on Earth, Digging for Dark Matter, the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) Detector, and A Prototype Detector for Dark Matter in the Milky Way.

   Are Wimps really invisible?

   • That means it’s largely invisible to us and only detectable through its interaction with gravity. One of the leading theories to explain the stuff that makes up the majority of the matter in the Universe are WIMPs, Weakly Interacting Massive Particles. They are just theories though and none have been detected.

   What is a wimp & why is it important?

   • For more information, please visit energy.gov/science. New results from the world’s most sensitive dark matter detector put the best-ever limits on particles called WIMPs, a leading candidate for what makes up our universe’s invisible mass.

   Why do physicists love the WIMP idea?

   • One of the reasons many physicists love the WIMP idea is that these particles naturally would have generated the same amount of dark matter in the universe that we observe. As the thinking goes, when the cosmos was much smaller, denser and hotter than it is now, even weak interactions were enough to produce WIMPs when known particles collided.
