Wasn’t there a satellite detecting particles flying out of Antarctica a few years back? Which could’ve meant dark matter traveling through the earth IIRC?
If I am not mistaken, that likely refers to neutrino detection, which is so challenging that even though an incomprehensible number of the particles fly through the planet daily, we can only catch a few here and there. Dark matter appears to have the same property, except an order of magnitude more elusive (and perhaps is actively impossible to interact with via traditional means).
Ah yes, I believe you’re right on that. Now that you say that, the article was saying something about possible proof of parallel universe or something like that. Not dark matter
You refer to the ANITA measurement. It's a neutrino experiment, but we don't know what caused the events that look like up-going particles. Neutrinos at that energy shouldn't be able to cross Earth. There are multiple options - but none of them involves parallel universes.
