How did dark matter shape the universe? This physicist has ideas
Theoretical physicist Tracy Slatyer was also instrumental in discovering the Fermi bubbles
… snip …
These days, Slatyer, a theoretical physicist at MIT, uses her mathematical aptitude to dream up new ideas about dark matter.
At your expense.
By taking her theories to their logical conclusions, Slatyer has made herself invaluable to the community of theoretical and observational physicists searching for dark matter. “She’s one of these people who’s kind of ubiquitous,” Finkbeiner says. “She shows up at every meeting. She has her finger in every pie. She’s on every panel to figure out what the field should do for the next 10 years.”
If you want to blame anyone for wasting billions of dollars futility looking for something that isn’t there and has no value even if it were found, blame her.
Given how little researchers know about dark matter, Slatyer thinks it’s important to imagine a wide range of potential possibilities and then come up with experiments to test those options. “We try to … make sure that we don’t miss anything blindingly obvious,” she says.
That admission comes after the expenditure of billions and billions of dollars. Well, her work certainly has helped support her's and many others lifestyles.
And, by the way, she got lots of accolades and money for helping find the Milky Way’s “unexpected” giant Fermi bubbles in 2012 (here:

But were they really unexpected? Plasma astrophysicists seem to have predicted something like this long before her.
Here’s Alfven’s galactic model from a paper he wrote in 1977 (

Seems to me, implicit in such a model are those bubbles.
And here’s a 2005 TPOD …

But all this has apparently been ignored by mainstream, gnome believing astrophysicists like Slatyer. Just saying ...
