Can Frozen Hydrogen Snowballs Account for Galactic Dark Matter

Authors: Alan M. Kadin

•DARK MATTER: Most mass in galaxies is invisible –what is it? •>80% of matter lies in halo around galaxies, but not in stars or other visible objects. •Cannot be dilute gas of H2and He –absorption lines would appear in spectra. •Popular theories suggest novel particles or novel dark objects such as black holes.

•Simpler alternative: frozen H2snowballs at 2.7 K. •Could also trap most He atoms internally. •This model could be tested using a cryogenic laboratory experiment.
