Sarfatti's prediction on null dark matter detection holds so far
Jack Sarfatti
mine on the Cornell archive - that dark matter, like dark energy, is a
virtual zero point energy effect with w = -1 of positive quantum
pressure in contrast to dark energy with negative quantum pressure. The
clicking of a dark matter detector is forbidden in my theory - apart
from errors with false positives. However, my prediction is in my book
"Space-Time and Beyond II" copyrighted in Library of Congress and on
Amazon. Let's see if my prediction stands the test of time with more
experiments down the line.
I have repeatedly written that the dark matter detectors will show a
null effect as a matter of principle analogous to the null effect of the
Michelson-Morely experiment.

Hi Jack,
Sorry to hear about Vigier.
On a better note, thought this was good news for your idea:

Particle no-show pans former find
Physicists unbowed as fail to detect dark matter.

If a dark matter particle strikes the detector, it would cause it to
ring like a bell.

The most powerful search yet for the Universe's missing matter has come
up empty handed, contradicting an earlier study that claimed to have
seen new particles.
Researchers from the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search II (CDMSII) say they
are pleased with their first results, which show that their detector is
working and set new constraints on how the so-far undetected matter can
behave, if it exists.
For decades, physicists and astronomers have known that conventional
particles of the type that make up atoms, stars and people only account
for a tiny fraction of the Universe's mass. The rest of the mass is
referred to as dark matter, as its identity is unknown. It is thought to
come from a variety of heavy particles that rarely interact with regular
matter and can pass through conventional objects unseen.
CDMSII has been looking for a type of theoretical particles called
weakly interactive massive particles, or WIMPs. If they are detected,
this would not only shed light on the mystery of dark matter, but would
also be good evidence for supersymmetry, a theory of physics that goes
beyond today's standard model.
Chilled out
The new detector is four times more sensitive than any previous
experiment. To shield it from high-energy particles from outer space,
the machine is based 700 metres underground in an abandoned iron mine in
Soudan, Minnesota. The detector is also chilled to within a tenth of a
degree of absolute zero to reduce vibrations from surrounding molecules.
The detector itself consists of sensors attached to six germanium and
silicon crystals. If a particle strikes one of the crystals, it causes
the crystal to ring like a bell, and the sensors detect the vibrations.
However since it started running in November last year, the detector has
not seen a single WIMP. The negative result puts an upper limit on the
number of interactions that can be occurring over a certain period of
time, says Harry Nelson, a physicist at the University of California,
Santa Barbara. He presented the results at the American Physical
Society's annual meeting in Denver, Colorado, on 3 May.
Elusive effect
That effectively contradicts the findings of DAMA, a less sensitive
experiment based at the National Laboratory of Gran Sasso, Italy, that
has been collecting data since 1996. Researchers there thought they
might have detected WIMPs. And they saw more particles in the summer
than in the winter, an effect that could have been caused by the Earth
travelling with or against the flow of cosmic dark particles.
But Nelson says that if those events were real, then the more sensitive
CDMSII should have seen 50 events for each one detected by DAMA. "If the
particles had been present, we are sure we would have seen them," he says.
Other results have cast doubt on DAMA's finding, but the data from
CDMSII are likely to be seen as conclusive evidence that the Italian
experiment did not spot a new particle. "[DAMA's finding] is essentially
dead," says Lawrence Krauss, a theoretical astrophysicist at Case
Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.
Physicists with the CDMSII experiment say they will now add another 24
crystals to the detector, increasing its sensitivity tenfold. If they
still fail to find something, then theorists who believe in
supersymmetry may have to rethink their ideas. "CDMSII isn't exerting an
annoying pressure on theorists yet," says Nelson. "But they're starting
to feel it."

Hey Jacko, when you were laughed off the podium at last year's APS
meeting... how did you avoid coming to certain conclusions? Uncle Al
spent 10 minutes on the podium this past Saturday and walked away with
an academic collaboration,
http://www.aps.org/meet/APR04/baps/abs/S690006.html
The abstract
http://www.mazepath.com/uncleal/qz.pdf
The formal proposal
Who's got the big stiff techo-woodie, Jacko? Saddamn Hussein
unleashed the largest concentration of anti-aircraft interdiction over
Bagdhad in the history of the world at the opening of the first Gulf
War. He filled the skies with shells and shrapnel. He hit as many
planes as you have lucked into by psychotically predicting new
physics. None at all either way. Zero, zilch, nada. Not even
bupkis. NOTHING.

Wow. He was laughed off the stage?
What was he talking about?
Uncle Al
The usual: nothing at all, and at length. One presumes that was one
source of guffaws.
