Default Twist in dark matter tale hints at shadow Milky Way

"THE HUNT for some of the most wanted stuff in the
universe took a new twist this week with the first results
from a high-profile, space-based dark matter detector.
The results are inconclusive, but, if combined with
recent theory, they hint at something exciting. Could
the universe have a dark side, complete with its own
force, a zoo of particles and even a shadow version of
the Milky Way?

"There could be a mirror world where interesting things
are going on," says James Bullock of the University of
California at Irvine, who has been working on the idea
of a "dark sector" for a while. "It means nature is much
richer than we would otherwise know," he says."
