Pavel Naselsky explains that leading scientists like Niels Bohr professor Subir Sarkar have predicted, using calculations, that dark matter may consist of very heavy particles that are around 10 times as heavy as the Higgs particle, that is to say, 1,000 times heavier than a proton. But they have very unique properties and do not interact with 'normal' matter particles. Dark matter particles are also usually very scattered and do not interact with each other. "But we know from theoretical predictions that the concentration of dark matter particles around the centre of galaxies is very high and we have a strong argument they can collide there and in the collision electrons and positrons are formed. These electrons and positrons start to rotate around the magnetic field at the centre of the galaxy and in doing so produce this very unusual synchrotron radiation

That has been posted somewhere here pa37, by our chief Imaginative arm chair scientist ;-)

What was the query anyway?

The 1000 the weight of a proton , or 100 times the weight of Higgs particle, I am not sure all researcher agree about the Higgs particle so how can we build something on an uncertainty

Well they don't agree because the evidence hasn'ty been confirmed as yet.

So what is it is she pregnant or half pregnant ?

It's just a comparison of mass. This research does not depend on the higgs boson.
