UC Santa Cruz's Cold Dark Matter WIMPs Punched by University of Chicago's CHAMPs

By Jerome Drexler

Recently, the University of Chicago's Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics, published a scientific paper online entitled, "Reopening The Window On Charged Dark Matter."

The paper's dark matter, in the form of electrically charged massive particles (CHAMPs) dealt a blow to the 24-year-old cold-dark-matter theory of uncharged weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) conceived at University of California, Santa Cruz.

Astro-cosmologist Jerome Drexler's five-year-old, CHAMP-like relativistic-proton dark matter discovery launched Drexler's postmodern cosmology theory that simultaneously answers fundamental questions about dark matter, the big bang, cosmic inflation, the accelerating cosmos, ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, and the cosmic web.

The last sentence of the abstract of the University of Chicago paper (arXiv:0809.0436 v1) gives clues as to the paper's significance. It reads, "Further, we find that charged massive particles [CHAMPs] may simultaneously solve several long-standing astrophysical problems, including the underabundance of dwarf galaxies, the shallow [mass] density profiles in the cores of the LSB [low surface brightness] galaxies, the absence of cooling flows in the cores of galaxy clusters, and several others."

Solving long-standing astrophysical problems was also the goal of Drexler's three books and two scientific papers. He uses an electrically-charged dark matter that simultaneously solves over 15 astrophysical problems, mysteries, dilemmas, or conundrums. Note that his charged particles are the only known real-world manifestation of CHAMPs. His three books were written as a trilogy with the first published December 2003, the second May 2006, and the third March 2008.

Drexler utilizes the overwhelming evidence provided in his three books, his two scientific papers, and the UChicago paper to stake his claim to the discovery of the precise identity and true nature of the long- sought dark matter of the universe, which was first publicly disclosed in his December 15, 2003 book.

These five publications cover the precise nature of dark matter of the universe, the evidence supporting that conclusion, and the relationships that dark matter has with dark energy, the accelerating expansion of the universe, cosmic rays, the big bang, cosmic inflation, and the cosmic web. These cosmic relationships are keys to precisely identifying and confirming the long-sought dark matter of the cosmos. Since dark matter represents about 83 percent of the mass of the universe, any dark matter candidate that does not have relationships with most of these six cosmic phenomena should be treated with suspicion.

These five Drexler publications also disclose dark matter's surprising and significant roles and functions in creating the spiral galaxies, stars, starburst galaxies and ultra-high- energy cosmic rays. The following titles of his five publications give further insight into dark matter's many relationships and the breadth of Drexler's discoveries in dark matter-based cosmology.

Drexler's March 2008 book "Discovering Postmodern Cosmology" is already cataloged in the libraries of Harvard, Yale, Cornell, UC Berkeley, University of Illinois, University of Groningen, Sam Houston State University, and the U.S. Naval Observatory. All three books are available through Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. Drexler's May 2006 book, "Comprehending and Decoding the Cosmos," which plausibly solves at least 15 cosmic enigmas, is cataloged in over 40 astronomy and physics libraries.
