89/-- Dark matter is NOT:
90 - Ordinary matter (baryons) - BBN limits
91 - Black holes (mostly) - microlensing limits
92 - Neutrinos (mostly) - too hot for structure
93 - Modified gravity (alone) - cluster data -/

95 "MACHOs (ruled out for most mass range)",
96 "Primordial black holes (limited)",
97 "Hot dark matter (neutrinos - too fast)",
