The Quest for the Nature of the Dark Matter: The Need of a New Paradigm

Abstract

The phenomenon of the Dark matter baffles the researchers: the underlying dark particle has escaped so far the detection and its astrophysical role appears complex and entangled with that of the standard luminous particles. We propose that, in order to act efficiently, alongside with abandoning the current $\Lambda CDM$ scenario, we need also to shift the Paradigm from which it emerged.
