1. Luca Malgeri:

   The only thing we really know is that there is 'new physics' because the model that we have is not complete, it might be linked to dark matter or it might not. It might be linked to something totally new.

2. Masashi Chiba:

   This discovery implies hundreds of faint dwarf satellites waiting to be discovered in the halo of the Milky Way, how many satellites are indeed there and what properties they have, will give us an important clue of understanding how the Milky Way formed and how dark matter contributed to it.

3. Dave Charlton:

   We don't know what dark matter is, but maybe there is a place where we can find it (in the LHC).

4. Jonathan Davis:

5. Kotaro Kohno:

   The more massive a galaxy, the more massive the supermassive black hole at its heart. So the study of these galaxies and their evolution will tell us more about the evolution of supermassive black holes, too, massive galaxies are also intimately connected with the distribution of invisible dark matter. This plays a role in shaping the structure and distribution of galaxies. Theoretical researchers will need to update their theories now.
