As far as scientists can tell, neutrinos are solitary particles. But what if there is a whole world of particles that interact with one another but not with ordinary atoms? This is the idea behind the dark sector: a theoretical world of matter existing alongside our own but invisible to the detectors we use to study the particles we know.
The main selling point for the dark sector is that the theories comprehensively confront the problem of dark matter. Dark matter is a term physicists coined to explain bizarre gravitational effects they observe in the cosmos. Distant starlight appears to bend around invisible objects as it traverses the cosmos, and galaxies spin as if they had five times more mass than their visible matter can explain. Even the ancient light preserved in cosmic microwave background seems to suggest that there is an invisible scaffolding on which galaxies are formed.
Even if terrestrial experiments cannot see these stable dark matter particles directly, they might be sensitive to other kinds of dark particles, such as dark photons or short-lived dark particles that interact strongly with the Higgs boson.
At the same time, scientists are also using the LHC to search for dark sector particles directly. One theory is that at extremely high temperatures, dark matter and ordinary matter are not so different and can transform into one another through a dark force. In the hot and dense early universe, this would have been quite common.
The energetic particle collisions generated by the LHC imitate the conditions that existed in the early universe and could unlock dark sector particles. If scientists are lucky, they might even catch dark sector particles metamorphosing into ordinary matter, an event that could materialize in the experimental data as particle tracks that suddenly appear from no apparent source.
But there are also several feasible scenarios in which any interactions between the dark sector and our Standard Model particles are so tiny that they are out of reach of modern experiments, according to Shelton.
For those that haven't heard of Dark Sector, it was a game produced by Digital Extremes a while back, and is extremely similar to Warframe(Warframe is basically the combination of a lot of scrapped Dark Sector ideas) and it's pretty similar to each other. Do the two games exist in the same universe? With the Proto-Armor and the Nemesis Armor in Warframe, it seems like it. Also, the Orokin text on Excaliburs shoulder reads "Hayden Tenno". So, what do you guys think?
Devs stated that it isn't canon. The words from Steve were on the lines of Warframe having similar aspects, but not taking place in the same universe. Warframe just takes aspects of Dark Sector and applies them, aka a spiritual successor.
It's not canon. Many ideas and themes are shared between the two games. DS was a butchered vision of Warframe and DE said that it wasn't cannon, but that doesn't mean DS doesn't contain any hints towards the story of Warframe.
Dark Souls uses a lot of game concepts and ideas from their previous game Demon Souls (if i remember right Dark Souls was even the result of a conflict with the publisher of Demon Souls). Demon Souls in turn uses a lot of elements from their even earlier King's Field series (unreleased in the west).
Of course re-using characters or elements is more often used to create a shared universe. So it's understandable why many would jump to the conclusion that Dark Sector could be related to Warframe in terms of story.
The devs have been saying that DS is canon and isn't canon on and off for years now. I believe they've actually referenced the Technocyte virus a couple times in the game, although the only example that I recall is Nekros' Shadows of the Dead's original description (where the revived enemies were made of "technocyte nanobots"). The description was scrapped within a week of Nekros' release.
They've given zero indication of DS being canon since then, and since U18 showed that the Tenno are actually not affiliated with Hayden in any way, it's pretty much confirmed now that DS isn't part of WF's storyline.
The most recent answer i recall on the subject was that Dark Sector is 4.5/10 canon. This means that less than half of it is canon and you can't exactly say much is relevant to Warframe. Only a small number of certain elements from Dark Sector could be considered canon. The stories are completely unrelated.
Personally, I view DS as legendary history from the perspective of WF. At best it can give you a glimpse of how the Orokin Empire came to be. However, it doesn't stand up to close scrutiny. The games were made under very different conditions and it shows.
Yeah spiritual successor like others said. Proto Excalibur, Nemesis Nyx, Butston, Proto Glaive, Lex, Grineer, Jackal, Liset, Dark Sector conflicts, Corpus tileset and many more are all sort of nods to their older game Dark Sector.
For the love of god stop spreading misinformation! YES! Dark Sector is cannon, Warframe takes place like thousands and thousands of years after Dark Sector to be relevant though. DE has stated that it is in fact related. Just seperated by an astronomical ammount of time to matter! This has been stated, period.
You know Steve, the director for Warframe, stated in a Dev Stream around the time second dream came out that Dark Sector is not canon to Warframe, that Warframe is a spiritual successor? Ever think that things could change over time, or that Megan was wrong at the time?
I never said the story is linked, I stated that Dark Sector is in the same universe, as in cannon to the gameverse. In a recent devstreem early 60's I think they all talked about it being linked, but seperated by a very long time. Dark sector is part of the universe, just not relevant.
EDIT : I see your problem, you're getting caught up on his own contradiction. He worded it wrong. They can't call Warframe Dark sector online because they do not own dark sector. In the same breath, legally, they can't call warframe an outright sequel neither. He even says you can't call dark sector a prequel, yet turns around and says "canon" what he means is spiritual successor cause all of his examples after that describes such.
I understand you fully, its more than just a "Spiritual Successor" though, there are confirmed links in the games. DE can change their minds about stuff but, it is conected, and more than just from a "in the spirit" of way.
Like to me, when I think spiritual successor I think System Shock > Bioshock, Mega Man Legends > Red Ash, Baldurs Gate > Dragon Age... Those are spiritual successor, no direct links, but in the spirit of said games.
dark sector is the butchered version of warframe; the history behind dark sector was that developers pretty much brow beat DE into making it WWII-ish because that was the "thing" (F%^& you call of duty!) causing a "psychic wound".
thus, the story to warframe cannot be anything near dark sector seeing as know how the technocyte virus is made in the warframe universe by the orkin trying to kill of sentients (great job by the way!). and it being made in the dark sector world from.....i think russians?
developers will use materials from scrap libraries all the time and even some names. hell! look at from software; they use some characters and weapons throughout all their games most known is the moonlight sword. if you have played armored core and/or dark souls you will know what i am talking about.
Hot new early dark energy describes a supercooled, first-order phase transition that takes place at sub-eV temperatures in the dark sector. It lowers the sound horizon, which provides a possible solution to the Hubble tension, and, at the same time, it can explain the neutrino masses through the inverse seesaw mechanism by making a set of sterile Majorana fermions massive. First, we argue that this scenario strengthens existing cosmological bounds on the heaviest neutrino mass. This, in turn, constrains the dark sector temperature, which provides us in total with two falsifiable predictions. In a second step, we discuss the phenomenological consequences of embedding hot new early dark energy in a larger gauge group that is partially broken above the TeV scale. This novel theory, which could even be motivated independently of the Hubble tension, completes the high-energy corner of the inverse seesaw mechanism and explains the mass of a dark matter candidate that can be produced through gravitational interactions at high energies.

Potential of the scalar field ϕ featuring two nongenerate minima separated by a barrier of height Vb. The potential and field difference between minima are denoted by ΔV and Δϕ, respectively. Initially, ϕ is trapped in the higher-energy minimum. It later tunnels into the lower minimum, thereby producing the dark matter of the Universe.
