206/-- Dark matter drives structure formation:
207
208 1. DM decouples early (no photon pressure)
209 2. DM perturbations grow during radiation era
210 3. Baryons fall into DM "halos" after recombination
211 4. Galaxies form in DM potential wells
212
213 Without DM, galaxies wouldn't have formed in time. -/

225 1. **Gravitational**: Already detected (rotation curves, etc.)
226 2. **Direct detection**: Scattering off nuclei - difficult
227 (Odd-phase doesn't couple well to even-phase)
228 3. **Indirect**: Annihilation products - possible
229 (Odd + odd → even, produces visible particles)
230 4. **Collider**: Produce at LHC - no luck so far -/
