"and particle physicists will have six times more stuff to study than they had before."

Can anyone out there explain this statement for us non-physicists?



They're echoing a statement made in the third paragraph: "Everything from the motions of galaxies to calculations about what sort of universe came out of the Big Bang says it [dark matter] must exist—and must outweigh familiar, atomic, matter by about six to one."


There's roughly five or six times as much dark matter in the universe as there is conventional matter.
