Topic: Dark Matter...
When we look out into space, we see only a small fraction of what'sout there. The visible stars, galaxies, dust, and gas comprise onlyabout 15% of the total mass in the universe - the remaining 85% isthought to be in the form of strangely elusive "dark matter."
How do we detect this dark matter? What could it be? Is it really there?Join astronomer Chris Mihos and particle physicist Dan Akerib for adiscussion of these questions and more!
