      Hi,

      I have only being working in this project for under a year now, but so far. I think the most interesting thing I have discovered is that , depending on the type of particle that dark matter is, the probably of it hitting a neutrino is different.

      This is important, because we could use neutrino detectors to detect neutrinos that have been hit by a dark matter particle, and therefore, getting a better understanding of what type of particle dark matter is! It is crazy that we know there is 5 times more dark matter than “normal” matter in the universe and yet, we do not know what it is or how it interacts with other particles!

      If you want to know what the difference between a neutrino and dark matter is, please check this:

      I’m sad to say I’m not convinced that I have ever discovered anything. Certainly not anything of note or interest. Sorry.
