First, it would mean that there might be so much matter in the universe that the outward expansion ignited by the Big Bang would eventually be counteracted by the force of gravity. The universe would ultimately cease its expansion and begin to collapse under its own weight, imploding in a catastrophic finale that theorists have dubbed the Big Crunch. But the presence of so much dark matter also has implications for the question Alcock ponders: What is all this stuff made of? The more dark matter there is, the less likely it is to resemble ordinary matter...

Theorists have already deduced that the top quark is heavier than any known particle. "A single top quark," exclaims Fermilab physicist Alvin Tollestrup, "probably weighs at least as much as a whole silver atom does." (With an atomic weight of 108, a silver atom is made up of hundreds of up and down quarks.) Exactly how much top quarks weigh is a question scientists are anxious to answer, but first they must find some to measure -- a task considerably complicated by the fact that in nature these massive but ethereal entities made only a cameo appearance, just after...
