Dark photon

A′MythicHypothetical: never detected, game threshold is fictional

Fact from the codex

Hypothetical: a messenger between dark matter and our world. Not detected so far.

Professor Quark says

“A dark photon – the light of a force only dark matter feels. We could see it at best because it mixes a little with the ordinary photon. Hypothetical, my colleagues say. Let's keep this between us.”
