Creation Moment 12/15/2020 - Teachable Moment of "Abracadabra" - Literally

 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them... Psalm 59:8

There's a lot of Abracadabra and hocus pocus going on these days in "science".....as a Teachable Moment we have here1) the attempt at studying Dark Matter which still hasn't been proven (I'm not saying it doesn't exist---just that most scientists admit no one has been able to prove it yet) 2) the search for another hypothetical--axions ......
so yeah, they are having a literal "abracadabra" moment (pun intended)...hey, at least they're being more honest and actually using the word ABRACADABRA...

"MIT grad student Chiara Salemi and Professor Lindley Winslow

use the ABRACADABRA instrument to reveal insights into dark matter.
 
On the first floor of MIT’s Laboratory for Nuclear Science hangs an instrument called “A Broadband/Resonant Approach to Cosmic Axion Detection with an Amplifying B-field Ring Apparatus,” or ABRACADABRA for short. 
As the name states, ABRACADABRA’s goal is to detect axions, a hypothetical particle that may be the primary constituent of dark matter, the unseen and as-of-yet unexplained material that makes up the bulk of the universe." SciTech
