Default Higgs Mass Estimates

In science, the way theories demonstrate whether or not they

Anyone who says "whether or not" (or a panini) fails my IQ test.

Default Can Either "Standard Model" ID the Dark Matter?

Why would you think it's only outside of galaxies?

If the universe is made primarily of it it would be on Earth and in
the solar system.


Indeed.

You might want to calculate the expected density and also think about
just how dark matter -- in particular non-baryonic dark matter --
could be detected. (Baryonic dark matter is easy to detect;
basically everything you see except the Sun and stars is baryonic
dark matter.)

Dark matter ought to comprize most of the constition of the Earth and
solar system if it comingled since the very beginning of time.


Why would you think that? Do you think the Earth should be made
mostly of hydrogen?
