Description
In the last 50 years astronomers have realised that an invisible type of mass exists in the Universe, outweighing all of the atoms in every star, planet and person five times over. It’s responsible for holding the galaxy together, for making the galaxies form where they do in the cosmos and is our best guide to physics beyond the Higgs boson, aka the ‘god’ particle. Yet astronomers are no nearer to understanding its nature. Using a combination of baby universes created on Australia’s most powerful telescopes, next generation telescopes like the Australian SKA Pathfinder, and rather fittingly, with a wine glass, Alan will explore what we know about the invisible and how Australia may uncover the most sought after particle in physics with the world’s first dark matter detector in the Southern Hemisphere, SABRE.
