Detection, Identification and Use of Dark Matter Particles for a New Energy Source

Direct detection of dark matter (DM) particles has been achieved by the DAMA collaboration and was confirmed by measuring the annual modulation of the measured signal. Analysis of their procedure shows that they found light DM particles that collide with electrons, though it was generally believed that they are massive (WIMPs) and cause nuclear recoils. The Standard Model of particle physics is based on observations that apply only to ordinary matter. It does not account for DM, but it can be generalized by the theory of Space-Time Quantization. Instead of assuming that space and time should be continuous, it considers a finite limit for the smallest measurable distance. The value a of this “quantum of length” is unknown, but has to be a universal constant for any inertial frames, like c and h. This also yields a universally constant quantum of time $a/c$ . The resulting generalization of Relativistic Quantum Mechanics allows us to distinguish all possible elementary particles from one another. They are characterized by a new type of quantum numbers, specifying modulations of wave functions and fields at the smallest possible scale. This also applies to DM particles. One type of them could be detected by means of NaI(Tl) and another type is adequate to ionize H₂ molecules. This process is confirmed by astrophysical observations and other observations revealed that this is the energy source of Unconventional Flying Objects. By explaining how it functions, we show that humanity could also develop this technology to get energy from freely available DM matter.
