Neutralino: The Mighty Dark Matter
editI believe that these neutralinos may be the dark matter that makes up 96 percent of our universe. Neutralinos seem to have properties similar to that of dark matter, so I believe that dark matter is composed of neutralinos. However, I do not believe they are supersymmetrical (I do not believe in supersymmetry). The neutralinos are just a form of regular matter only with very mysterious properties. I also feel that neutralinos should be given an induvidual Greek or Roman letter to represent them, rather than having that complex jumble. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.104.153.113 (talk) 17:39, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
- Statements that begin "I believe" are useless without having known authorship. The identity and contributions of the author are relevant in evaluating the usefulness, relevance, and probable correctness of such statements. In the absence of adequate theory and experiment, concepts such as neutralinos cannot be evaluated except by the intuition of gifted physicists. Those who are not gifted should probably refrain from expressing their opinions outside of their domain of confirmed knowledge and experience, to avoid generating needless confusion or polarization of opinion.

Known particle?
editThe tone of the article suggests that neutralinos are known to exist, but the article doesn't come-out-and-say this.
Is there a documented observation of a neutralino? If so, the usual details (where, how, by whom, etc.) should be given.

- In its current version, the article states that neutralinos are merely hypothetical. This is true, for all we know today. There have been extensive searches for supersymmetric particles, but nothing has been found yet.
