What is dark matter? (Is it WIMP (Weakly Interacting Massive Particle) and axion?)
Most of the universe forms dark matter. And that term means material that has no visible electromagnetic interaction. There could be also electromagnetic interaction, but that interaction is too weak for observing. So that means the dark matter is "dark". We cannot notice that material.
Or material that interacts only with gravity. Researchers are thinking that dark matter could form by WIMP (Weakly Interactive Massive Particle) or axions. WIMP is hypothetical the weakly interactive particle, whose mass is 1-1000 times more than a proton.
And the axion is another hypothetical particle that has a mass of about one trillionth of the electron. The problem is the form of those particles. What they are looking like? If we are closing that problem by using Superstring theory as the modeling tool we can try to explain the form of the hypothetical particles of dark matter.
The idea is that energy and material are forming of the 1-dimension superstrings. And the axions are the particles, that are remainings of the Big Bang. Maybe axions were formed just after Big Bang when the energy level was too high that the wave movement could condense to the particles that have the form what we know as material.
We can say that hypothetical WIMPs are "only" longer superstrings than other particles. In that case. The "open superstring" causes that the WIMP cannot react with other particles. "Open superstring" means that the particle is looking like the rubber band. And that thing causes that there is no electromagnetic field around it.
Normally particles are interacting with their quantum field. The quantum field is the extremely small electromagnetic field that surrounds the particle. So in the case of WIMP, the form of the particles causing that the quantum field cannot form.
Or in the case of the axion, the touching layer of that particle is so small that we cannot see the reaction. In the case of the axion. The particle would be so small, that it cannot notice. So the interaction happens, but it happens in so small area, that it cannot affect larger particles alone. If there is a large mass of axions the same way as WIMPs. That mass would interact with other material with the gravity field.
If the mass of the axion is one-trillionth of the electron it cannot cause any kind of electromagnetic reaction with electrons that are so massive in comparison with axion, that the electron doesn't even stir. Or axion just goes through the electron by pushing the superstring away from it. The small size of the axion means that when it hits electrons or some electromagnetic field. It just travels through that field.
The thing that we are calling the observation causes normally that some particle hits the electron or some subatomic particle like quarks. That impact causes the electron or quark will send the photon or some other particle, and the observation happens by that particle. But because the mass or the size of the axion would be so small, it cannot cause the change to the trajectory of electron what means that there is photons release.
In the case of WIMP, "the open superstring" causes that the other particles are traveling through WIMP, and that thing denies the interaction. So maybe that kind of thing can prove in the distant future.
"Open superstrings" and the dark energy (Can we someday benefit the "dark energy"?)
If we are thinking about the WIMP as the "open superstring" that just cannot rotate, we are facing one interesting possibility. There is the possibility that the form of WIMP is causing that this particle has no quantum electric field. The electromagnetic field requires that the particle would rotate.
So can we sometimes benefit from dark energy? Theoretically, dark energy is the wave movement, which is sent by the "flapping open superstrings". When the form of the superstring is chancing it sends the wave movement that has only a different frequency with other electromagnetic radiation.
And if we could someday find out that frequency, we would have an unlimited energy source. The thing that we must just make is the antenna. Which captures the wave movement of dark energy. But the problem is that we should know the frequency of that strange wave movement for benefitting it.
