Brooke,

Maybe, but maybe not. It's not a dark hole either. It supposedly does not interact very good with normal matter. It can be moot if the interaction is so weak that it only gives itself away in sub-ns level towards picoseconds or less, so that it becomes difficult of monitoring it at all. What if it's not "chunks" like that but fairly evenly spread, then we can only see the wrinkles as density varies. There is so many ways that this could go wrong, including not really interacting at all the way we think.

Then again, it's fundamental research, we don't know exactly how it behaves, even if we have some clues about things that doesn't fit, and in order to explain it we come up with the theories about dark matter and dark energy.

I just wanted to have the article behind the science journalist level.

Cheers,
Magnus

Hi Magnus:

Maybe it's moot.  If a hunk of dark matter that's 0.75 of Earth's radius
is inside the GPS orbit there's likely to be bigger issues.

Hi Charles and Joe,

Read this, and hopefully you get smarter than from the write-up you
linked:
http://arxiv.org/pdf/1311.1244v2.pdf

I could not find any attempt at sensitivity scale required, and thus
the feasability of actually detecting these deviations.

From a quick look at it, I have a kind of notion of what they imply
one should look for, but it's not really well described exactly what
to expect, but maybe it becomes clearer on a quality read-through. It
is more suggestive than detailed method proposing, enough to show the
idea, but not enough to implement it, it needs the engineering on top
of it.

Cheers,
Magnus

Yes, I read that yesterday. It will be interesting to hear what the
outcome of the study is.
