1 Dark Matter as Manifestation of “Unmatter”

Dark Matter is rooted in the underlying topology of fractal spacetime above the electroweak scale and may be understood as a manifestation of “Unmatter”. There are presently two mainstream views on the nature and composition of Dark Matter (DM), namely: 1. DM consists of exotic objects such as weakly interacting massive particles (WIMP’s), axions or neutralinos, falling outside the realm of the Standard Model for high-energy physics. 2. DM is a hidden aspect of classical gravitation that requires amendments to General Relativity and current cosmological models. In light of the null results on DM searches recently announced by LUX and XENON [1-2], we wish to bring up a third possibility, developed in [3-7]. In this interpretation, DM is a manifestation of “Unmatter ” and consists of arbitrary mixtures of particles and antiparticles whose attributes drastically depart from the familiar properties of ordinary matter. These non-trivial states may be seen as topological objects that emerge in clumps of fractional quanta, hav
