Scientists from South Dakota to Australia seek material believed to make up quarter of universe as researchers in China investigate another mystery particleWhat could be bigger than gravitational waves? Predicted by Einstein, confirmed to exist this week, they are born of black holes colliding and the sound of space time itself warping through the Earth. What couldn’t be bigger, say scientists still pining for answers to the other mysteries of physics. The discovery of dark matter, argued cosmologist Carlos Frenk at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, would be more important than the detection of gravitational waves. The latest results for the most sensitive dark matter detector in the world came in in December, and physicist Alex Murphy delivered them to the Guardian on Saturday. His team’s experiment is run nearly a mile down a former gold mine in South Dakota, with a vat of liquid xenon.
