If Dark Matter has a mass of 40GeV, could it have caused the Big Bang?

Why 40GeV?

-- EDIT --

<QUOTE>The 40GeV is the latest measure from Brown University.</QUOTE>

OK, now we're getting somewhere. You meant this preprint? http://arxiv.org/abs/1108.2914

What they did was to establish exclusion limits for dark matter candidates. It wasn't an actual measurement of any particular particle's mass. One way to see it is how physicists were goalpoasting the mass of the Higgs boson. It's a mixture of using some experimental data to goalpost theoretical predictions -- typical particle physicist stuff. http://www.darksusy.org/

Regardless of that, this has nothing to do with the Big Bang or parallel universes or any of that. It's a normal scientific article, looking at the literature and other people's work to try to goalpoast what people should be looking for and to find reasons to exclude unreasonable models. It's not an actual "aha, found it!" discovery.

Since you didn't mention where you got it from (this is the Internet, it works by linking to other pages!), I'm posting here the press release from Brown U. that you MIGHT have read it from: http://news.brown.edu/pressreleases/2011/11/wimps (You didn't mention where you read it from, so all I can do is guess.)

There are inconsistencies in your argument, but the big question is why dark matter should have a specific mass. You sound like you know this as fact and therefore you know what dark matter is?

If so, tell the rest of us - a Nobel prize is waiting in the wings

reference other singularities in a very small early universe - they would merge and form just the one.

dark count, no. dark potential, uncertain. dark count, is a few thing which could purely be detected via its gravity. and that i'm nonetheless slightly skeptical that it even exists (possibly the physics that we comprehend approximately gravity isn't yet finished, yet that's a distinctive talk altogether). It does not work together with often happening count or the EM spectrum (easy) in any way different than that apparently to warp area-time inthe comparable way that often happening count does.... apparently to have mass, and subsequently gravity, yet is elusive to the different detection procedures. dark potential is a threat. this is the "unknown *stress* (for loss of a extra valuable term)" it rather is liable for the growth of the universe. Even much less is theory approximately this than is theory approximately dark count. we are able to in all danger in no way know something with regards to the situations "previous to" the enormous Bang, no longer to point a "reason" of it... the nicely-known physics purely wreck down once you rewind the universe back to "Time 0," so which you may talk. dark count, if it does exist, replaced into in all danger created the comparable way often happening count replaced into, or a minimum of in some parallel way, yet definitel after the enormous Bang. dark potential, if it ought to have been recent "previously" the enormous Bang, could have had some thing to do with its "reason." the main important situation with this hypothesis, regardless of the undeniable fact that, is that apparently "time itself" is a effect of the enormous Bang. making a "reason" of it or a "previously" it to be impossible to presently comprehend, or perhaps particularly point out with out making a handful of cosmologists say, "there replaced into no previously." one element which you will discover interesting, and it gets extra into the microuniverse than the macrouniverse (quantum mechanics as against cosmology), is M-concept, Brane concept, and String concept. i'm no longer nicely knowledgeable on those subjects, so can not supply you a stable opinion on them, yet they seem to educate ability that the enormous Bang could have had a reason.

No. Big Bang created time and space, and therefore there was no 'before Big Bang'. Since causes come before effects, there was therefore also no cause for Big Bang.

I am confused as to why Dark Matter should have a specific mass....
