World-first detector built by dark matter researchers reports rare events https://www.centredarkmatter.org/all-posts/world-first-detector-6fjy3-tl3ek-4mn2-p9m7y
quotations <<A ground-breaking detector that aims to use quartz to capture high frequency gravitational waves has been built by researchers at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics (CDM) and the University of Western Australia. In its first 153 days of operation, two events were detected that could, in principle, be high frequency gravitational waves, which have not been recorded by scientists before.>> <<Mr Campbell said a gravitational wave is just one possible candidate that was detected, but other explanations for the result could be the presence of charge particles or mechanical stress build up, a meteor event or an *internal atomic process*. It might also be due to a very high mass dark matter candidates interacting with the detector.>> I added the underline. Harry
