Oh, I see you came around to my idea for distinguishing massive particles from axion particles.

看来你转而支持我的想法了，关于如何区分大质量粒子和轴子。

The best guess is that invisible particles called weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs, contribute all this missing mass.

暗物质是由肉眼看不见的粒子——大质量弱相互作用粒子，或称WIMP组成的。

It's only in these collisions that very massive particles, like the theorized dark matter, can be produced.

只有在这些碰撞中才能产生非常大的粒子，比如理论上的暗物质。

Now, the detectors take snapshots of about a billion of these collisions per second to find signs of extremely rare massive particles.

现在， 探测器每秒拍摄大约 10 亿次此类碰撞的快照，以发现极其罕见的大质量粒子的迹象。

This equivalency equation showed that a massive particle possesses an energy, or 'rest energy' which is distinct from the kinetic energy of a particle.

该等价方程表明，大质量粒子拥有能量或“静止能量”，与粒子的动能不同。

This, as any physicist will tell you, is the same as saying they zipped around at the speed of light; a massive particle, by contrast, is by definition more sluggish.

正如任何一位物理学家都会告诉你的，这等于是说它们以光速四处飞过；相比之下，就定义来看一个有质量的粒子缓慢多了。
