As I explained here,
dark matter in the universe is a remnant of inflation. At the end of the
inflationary period, the universe is left in an oscillating state. These
oscillations can be viewed as particles, or inflaton bosons, the inflaton being
the scalar field that drives inflation. These oscillations decay to form matter
particles, the stuff we’re made of.

Sorry, No Supersymmetry
An Economist article asserts
that the main search target for the upgraded Large Hadron Collider, due to
start up in a couple of months, will be supersymmetric particles, heavier
partners of the standard model particles that have so far never been seen. Supersymmetry is vital to string theory and to
other theories aimed at solving standard model anomalies. Since no evidence of
it was seen in the LHC’s first run, many physicists feel that it has already
been falsified, but many others still think it will be found in the next,
higher-power, run.
In the spacetime model I’m telling you about in this blog, there’s
not even a hint of supersymmetry, so I feel confident in predicting that it
doesn’t exist and won’t be found by the LHC or any future collider.
