The new way to detect dark matter


"Physicists at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory are exploring a new method to detect dark matter using quantum devices, focusing on a lesser-known form called thermalized dark matter. Their approach involves utilizing quantum sensors, traditionally disrupted by unexplained energy intrusions, to potentially detect dark matter’s subtle energy impacts. This innovative research leverages the unique capabilities of quantum technology to potentially solve the long-standing mystery of dark matter detection.

Do dark matter particles impact material so often that sensors don't separate individual impacts? If the dark matter energy level is lower than the material. The impact is hard to detect. If the particle's energy form is different from what researchers think it's hard to detect. It's possible. That the particle travels slowly in space. 

But it spins very fast the particle can tunnel itself through material. If there is a radiation stylus at its poles or around its spin axle, that thing can make particles act like a drill that can push other particles away from its route without transmitting any energy in it. Dark matter may transport so small an energy impact into other particles that sensors cannot detect that interaction. 

The new idea to detect dark matter is based the AI and super cold aluminium. The idea is that the dark matter impacts with super cold aluminum, and the AI detects changes in that object's energy level. Dark matter interacts with gravity. 

So Earth should pack those, still theoretical, darl matter particles called weakly interacting massive particles (WIMP) around it. The WIMP particles that orbit Earth should be less energetic than interstellar or intergalactic WIMPs. 

Does the WIMP interaction happen so often that the detector cannot separate the individual particles? In that case, very often impacting dark matter particles causes a model that the impacts are the base energy level of material because constantly impacting WIMPs send radiation so often, that the sensor sees them as a base energy field or level. 

But if the aluminum detector's temperature is as near zero kelvin as possible, those impacts should raise the aluminum's energy level. When the system's temperature is as near as absolute zero as possible, it is in a stable quantum state. The impacting WIMPs should disturb that state, but the problem is that the object cannot reach absolute zero in nature. The system requires massive coolers, and another problem is that the neutrinos and other known particles can cover WIMP interaction. 

The dark matter around Earth should be in the form called: thermalized dark matter. The speed of thermalized dark matter should be slower than galactic dark matter. Thermalized dark matter means dark matter that is trapped in and around Earth.

One of the reasons why systems cannot detect dark matter is that there is a lot of dark matter in the universe. In that model, the WIMP interaction is weak, and it could happen too often that the particle detectors cannot separate those impacts. If the particle's temperature is almost absolute zero drum the aluminum too often that the sensor might not separate those impacts. Same way if the WIMP temperature is one or two kelvin and the sensor's temperature is higher it might not see WIMP. 

There is the possibility that the WIMP spins very fast. And the quantum field around that particle is very large. The WIMP can be flat because its spin is very fast. That structure can tunnel itself through the material. In that model, the visible material's energy level is higher than dark matter. 

If dark matter is a very low-energy particle that travels very slowly, dark matter impact may cause very weak interaction. If the spin of those WIMP particles is high enough, it could make it possible for WIMP. That it can tunnel itself through other particles or material. That means the WIMP can be some kind of quark. The fast spin can cause an effect That WIMP  transfers minimal energy to other particles.

Schrödinger's cat: and the limits of that idea.

"In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition". (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat). But the same thing can use as model for many other thought experiments.  Sooner or later, or at least in the ultimate end of the universe, the Schrödinger's cat will turn into wave movement. The information that this cat involved exists but the cat does not exist in its material form. The information doesn't ever vanish. It just turns its shape.  We are all trapped in the universe and time. The universe is the space that is entirety to us. There are no confirmed other universities. But the multiverse is a logical continuum for the expanding galactic megastructures.  The problem with natural things is this. They are black and white. They exist or do not exist. Could there be something, that exists and not exists at the same time?  Scrödinger's cat is thinking experiment about case their cat is not dead or not alive. But in this...

The string theory offers a new way to calculate Pi.

"Scientists discovered a new series for pi through string theory research, echoing a 15th-century formula by Madhava. By combining Euler-Beta Functions and Feynman Diagrams, they modeled particle interactions efficiently. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics) People normally think that. The pi is the ratio of the circumference circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The Pi is a mathematical constant 3.14159..., the endless decimal number. The Pi is interesting because developers can use that decimal number to make the encryption algorithms stronger.  The idea is that the encryptions program hides the message's original ASCII numbers by multiplicating those numbers with some decimal number. Or the system can add some numbers to those ASCII numbers.  "Aninda Sinha (left) and Arnab Saha (right). Credit: Manu Y" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Le...

There are always more than three actors in the real world.

"An international research team is advancing precision timekeeping by developing a nuclear clock using thorium isotopes and innovative laser methods, potentially transforming our understanding of physical constants and dark matter. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Unveiling the Thorium Nuclear Clock and Its Time-Twisting Secrets) From Three-body problem... There are no pure three-body systems in nature. There are always more than three components in the system. For making real three-body systems we must separate those three bodies from the environment. Otherwise, there are stable effects. But nobody can predict some effects like distant supernova explosions or sun eruptions.  And one of those things that affect all bodies is time. When radioactive materials decay. That affects the stability and symmetry of the object.  Energy levels affect the existence of things like neutrons. The thorium atom clocks are next-generation tools for time measurement....
