      I certainly hope so! But as we don’t know the exact properties of dark matter, we can’t really ‘harness’ or ‘collect’ it, definitely not any time soon, and who knows what it could be useful for?
      But the technology developed in the search can be useful and already is- things like improved radiation detection have come out of dark matter research.
