hexaquarks (sexaquarks?) if they exist might explain dark matter puzzle

[Marees]

Normal proton or neutron is a triquark (comprised of 3 quarks)

Physicists theorize that there exist oddball particles comprised of 6 quarks that could be stable & also explain dark matter, if they exist.

These 6 quark particles are known as hexaquarks but some have also referred to them as sexaquarks. One is from Greek & other from Latin. I don't know which is which (its all greek & latin to me)

A Deuterium nucleus (proton + neutron) has 6 quarks in total but it has a net positive charge. So it is not a dark matter candidate

Sex-a-who now?

Matter made of sexaquarks is known to the Ferengi as Latinum.
