Could This Be The Signal Of Dark Matter? Unsure Scientists Checking This Out
Sometimes a strange signal comes from the dark and it takes a while to figure out what that signal means. In this case, scientists analyzing high-energy gamma rays emanating from the galaxy’s center found an unexplained source of emission that they say is “consistent with some forms of dark matter.”
The data came courtesy of NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and was analyzed by a group of independent scientists. They found that by removing all known sources of gamma rays, they were left with gamma-ray emissions that so far, they cannot explain. More observations will be needed to characterize these emissions, they cautioned.

Weakly Interacting Massive Particles/WIMPS … as in Meekly interacting grounded people who are as big as a “topline” chain-of-command/order personnel, but who choose to get on with their life and not influence other particles but by their gravity and weight/truth of what they say? Thats darkness?
The scientists suggest that if WIMPs were destroying each other, this would be “a remarkable fit”.
