Brrrr, an icy friday, and we gently shiver to the Mighty iPod and we ask: those high energy gamma ray blips recently detected - signature of dark matter annihilation, or just a regular nearby pulsar?
Whoosh goes the randomizer.
Whoosh.

Bummer, dude.
I am really hoping for the origins of dark matter to get discovered soonish, leaving "only" dark energy as the big mystery...
I fear Dark Energy will be one of those things where no theorist figures it out until we get enough data to brute force a model.
At some point I estimated there were over 2000 theory/model papers for dark energy and not a single one that sounded even plausible. Must be many more now, and I don't think we're any closer to a decent conjecture on it.
Dark matter should be easier.
LSP would be kinda boring - I am fond of dark sector models with their own gauge fields and chemistry.
