👉 Bruce Light Particles, often referred to as BLPs, are hypothetical subatomic particles that have been proposed within certain theoretical frameworks, particularly in discussions around dark matter and beyond-the-Standard-Model physics. Unlike the well-understood fundamental particles like electrons or quarks, BLPs are not directly observed but are hypothesized to exist due to their potential to explain certain astrophysical phenomena. These particles are thought to interact very weakly with ordinary matter, making them difficult to detect directly. The concept of BLPs often arises in models that extend the Standard Model of particle physics, suggesting they could account for the observed gravitational effects attributed to dark matter without requiring new fundamental forces or particles. While not yet confirmed experimentally, the study of BLPs continues to be an active area of research, aiming to uncover new insights into the fundamental nature of the universe.
