it would be embarrassing not to find something that supposedly makes up 9/10ths of everything
just you wait: in 2100 novelty digital clock fridge magnets will be powered by dark energy

Nature's editor has said this is not true.

Bummer. I would have thought it'd be published in Science anyways...

ouch
I was alerted to your blog of yesterday (you certainly don't make contacting you easy). Your "fact" #1, that Nature is about to publish a
CDMS paper on dark matter, is completely false. This would be instantly
obvious to the most casual observer because the purported date of publication is a Friday, and Nature is published on Thursdays. Your "fact" therefore contains as much truth as the average Fox News story, and I would be grateful if you would correct it immediately.
Your comments about the embargo are therefore, within this context, ridiculous. Peer review is a process, the culmination of which is publication. We regard confidentiality of results during the process as a matter of professional ethics, though of course authors are free to post to arxiv at any point during the process (we will not interfere with professional communication of results to peers).

So you mean we're not going to make a black hole out of dark matter and destroy the universe? BORING!!

Looks like what was observed has about 23% chance of being dark matter.
