"Nuclear physicists are putting forward a new candidate for dark matter -- a particle they recently discovered called the d-star hexaquark. "

We discussed it last year over a few beers; to paraphrase him "It could be a Nobel, or more likely just a crock of shit"
How do they overcome the short lifetime (~ 10-23 seconds) of the hexaquark and don't 6 quarks have Coulomb charge and, therefore, e-m coupling and, therefore, not "dark" or invisible to e-m fields?
