The intriguing and remarkable conclusion from the appropriate calculations is that stable particles with roughly the Higgs boson’s mass happen to be left with about the right abundance to be the dark matter.
The most remarkable thing about this would be that there is only a single type of dark matter particle. One is a weird and improbable number: normally there are either zero of something, or many -- just look at the number of different fervent types of ordinary matter.
Not only is one a weird and improbable number, it is also a lonely number, but not quite as lonely as three.
