4 Search for The Invisible not impossible a historical perspective: 1844: F. Bessel predicts companion of Sirius discovered by A. Clark in : J. Adams, U. Leverrier predict 8 th planet discovered by J. Galle : W. Pauli predicts neutrino discovered by C. L. Cowan and F. Reines in 1956 and the discovery of ether, the black hole at the center of the Milky Way,... But: Need an idea first! Rafael F. Lang, Purdue: The Direct Search for Dark Matter 4
