Carnegie Observatories Lecture Series: Dark Matter Physics in the Sky

Ethan Nadler, a postdoctoral fellow at Carnegie Institution for Science and USC, discusses the search for dark matter physics in the sky and how next-generation telescopes will help us understand its fundamental nature. Most of the matter in the universe is dark; to date, all evidence for dark matter is based on how it affects visible matter, like stars and galaxies, through gravity.
