 206/-- Dark matter drives structure formation:
 207
 208    1. DM decouples early (no photon pressure)
 209    2. DM perturbations grow during radiation era
 210    3. Baryons fall into DM "halos" after recombination
 211    4. Galaxies form in DM potential wells
 212
 213    Without DM, galaxies wouldn't have formed in time. -/

 224
 225    1. **Gravitational**: Already detected (rotation curves, etc.)
 226    2. **Direct detection**: Scattering off nuclei - difficult
 227       (Odd-phase doesn't couple well to even-phase)
 228    3. **Indirect**: Annihilation products - possible
 229       (Odd + odd → even, produces visible particles)
 230    4. **Collider**: Produce at LHC - no luck so far -/
