All the physics blogosphere is abuzz about rumors that the CDMS experiment might have collected evidence for the direct detection of dark matter, and is going to announce their results on December 18. The original source was Resonaances, where you can read the basic story; see also New Scientist. It’s to the point where it’s more suspicious if we don’t mention it than if we do, so here you are.

I'm surprised that it has taken such a long time to find Dark Matter since, unlike Dark Energy, we can prove it exists and we have some sort of idea what it might be. We await the report with interest!   :D
