WIMP
This article is about the hypothetical class of particles. For other uses of the term, see
wimp (disambiguation). In
astrophysics, weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs, are hypothetical particles serving as one possible solution to the
dark matter problem. These particles interact through the
weak nuclear force and
gravity, and possibly through other interactions no stronger than the weak force. Because they do not interact with electromagnetism they cannot be seen directly, and because they do not interact with the
strong nuclear force they do not react strongly with atomic nuclei.

Wimp
Wimp may refer to:A physical or emotional weakling. This informal term was the inspiration for the radio character Wallace Wimple (of the Fibber McGee and Molly show) and the phrase
Mush from the Wimp. It is not, however, believed to have been the source for the name
Wimpy, the Popeye character.
