Have a look at a semi-humourous slide from the Southern California Strings Seminar which I posted about here and here. UC Irvine’s Jonathan Feng was talking about the search for dark matter, and the related collaborative efforts between collider physics, astrophysics, cosmology, and other areas of physics.
[Update: Full size picture of slide here, and slides of talk here (pdf) (ppt)*.]
I like the idea that one day when we’re all beings of light (or whatever) and can look back on this exciting area of physics in our history, we should all be able to buy this from Parker Brothers (say) as a board game. Fun for all the familiy!
What do you think of it?

I can see the advertisement now: “Not a game for WIMPs (or maybe it is??)”

Nice. It still can’t come close to the old Dark Matter Flowchart:

As I was saying….Startrek it! What? You don’ like Klingons?
…..adding dimension to three dimensional chess as alternative choice in clifford’s slide? Each choice, a level?
na! maybe not…
I was searching for a Title, “The Darkside Matters?” Non!

How do you worm your way through to the otherside of the board??
