Let’s Begin…
Physicist Patricia Burchat sheds light on two basic ingredients of our universe: dark matter and dark energy. Comprising 96% of the universe between them, they can't be directly measured, but their influence is immense.
Burchat describes dark matter as “non-interacting” matter. What does this mean, and why is it challenging for physicists? How are they gathering evidence for dark matter, given its non-interactive nature?
