DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, March 26th for a Special Public Talk\, 'T
 he Mystery of Dark Matter in the Universe' by Dr. Katherine Freese from Th
 e University of Texas\, Austin. The event is FREE and open to everyone. No
  registration required!\n	\n	Katherine Freese is the Director of the Weinber
 g Institute for Theoretical Physics as well as the Jeff & Gail Endowed Cha
 ir of Physics at the University of Texas\, Austin. She works on a wide ran
 ge of topics in theoretical cosmology and astroparticle physics. She has b
 een working to identify the dark matter and dark energy that permeate the 
 universe as well as to build a successful model for the early universe imm
 ediately after the Big Bang. She is the author of a book The Cosmic Cockta
 il: Three Parts Dark Matter. Find out more about her on her website.\n	\n	Ab
 out the Talk: The ordinary atoms that make up the known universe\, from ou
 r bodies and the air we breathe to the planets and stars\, constitute only
  5% of all matter and energy in the cosmos. The remaining 95% is made up o
 f a recipe of 25% dark matter and 70% dark energy\, both nonluminous compo
 nents whose nature remains a mystery. Freese will recount the hunt for dar
 k matter\, from the discoveries of visionary scientists like Knut Lundmark
  and Fritz Zwicky\, who argued for the existence of dark matter in the 193
 0’s\, to the deluge of data today from underground laboratories\, satellit
 es in space\, and the Large Hadron Collider. Theorists contend that dark m
 atter consists of fundamental particles\, and candidates include axions\, 
 WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles)\, and fuzzy dark matter. Bill
 ions of them pass through our bodies every second without us even realizin
 g it\, yet their gravitational pull is capable of whirling stars and gas a
 t breakneck speeds around the centers of galaxies\, and bending light from
  distant bright objects. In this talk Freese will provide an overview of t
 his Cosmic Cocktail\, including the evidence for the existence of dark mat
 ter in galaxies. Many cosmologists believe we may be on the verge of solvi
 ng this mystery\, which will be an epochal discovery in humankind's quest 
 to understand the universe.\n
