Drexler Leads Dark Matter Identity Race; Queen's University of Canada gets $10.5 Million.

Byline: The Drexler Foundation

SILICON VALLEY, Calif., July 1 (AScribe Newswire) -- On June 19, 2009 the Canadian government's Canadian Foundation for Innovation (CFI) announced that "Mark Boulay (Physics) and co-investigator Mark Chen (Physics) [of Queen's University] will receive $10,561,628 toward their projects searching for Dark Matter particles [in deep underground mines] and extending the experiments at the Sudbury Neutrino Laboratory."

Dark matter research also can be carried out in space. Seven years of such research in dark matter cosmology by Bell Labs-trained scientist Jerome Drexler has achieved significant positive research results in the dark-matter-identification race against research groups working in deep underground mines in Canada, France, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, and the United States.

For final dark-matter-identity confirmation, Drexler will be relying on the UV upgraded Hubble Space Telescope and on the planned Russian UV space telescope to detect UV photon emission from his posited relativistic-baryon (protons and helium nuclei) dark matter particles, which have immense relativistic mass that could very well represent about 83 percent of the mass of the universe. Such massive charged particles bombard Earth every day and are well-known as ultra-high-energy cosmic rays.

The competing deep-mine research groups are searching for putative non-baryonic dark matter particles that are devoid of both protons and neutrons, yet are required to represent about 83 percent of the mass of the universe. Such naturally occurring non-baryonic matter has never been detected by mankind. Thus the deep-mine dark matter researchers face at least two high hurdles; they must not only discover the existence of non-baryonic matter on Earth, which could win them a Nobel Prize, but they must also prove it represents about 83 percent of the mass of the universe for it to be considered the dark matter of the universe.

Since 1984, cosmologists have argued that the dark matter of the universe cannot be made of protons or neutrons or anything that was once made of protons or neutrons, such as helium nuclei. They say that calculations of particle synthesis during the big bang indicate that such proton and neutron based particles were simply "too few in number" to make up the enormous estimated mass of dark matter.

However, these researchers did not consider the alternative possibility of particles of relativistic-proton (and helium nuclei) dark matter that, owing to their enormous relativistic particle mass, would not be "too few in number" to make up the enormous mass of dark matter of the universe. Discovering this, Drexler adopted the relativistic-proton dark matter model in early 2002 and publicly announced it in late 2003.
