Dynamics of Cats — ... are spending a lot of time worrying about annihilation spectra and photon branching ratios of particles whose mass, interaction cross-section or general nature we do not know; nor do we know within several orders of magnitude what the density of any dark matter particles might be in galactic centers. On the other hand, what could possibly produce a hard photon spectrum... thinking, thinking, thinking... It would be very amusing if Dark Matter turns out to be Fuzzy after all this. Next Big Future blog has an interesting short on ...
