By friday, I will be debating as a proponent of WIMPS and Nutrinos being 
the majority of dark matter in the universe. How might one prove hands 
down that baryonic particals could not be the answer to obserable galactic 
movements? Are there any flaws in the theory of Nucleosynthesis that 
might "nip me in the butt"? Am I right in hering that recently there have 
been successfull dections of non-baryonic particals.
