3. Dark matter - Josh Eby
Description
I'm speaking with Josh Eby, who is a physicist from Israel, about dark matter. Why do we know it is there? What can it be and what can't? How we are trying to find it.
00:50 How much of dark matter is out there?
1:25 Josh’s journey to the dark matter science?
6:10 Why do we know that there is dark matter?
6:20 Not dark - invisible
7:30 Rotation of galaxies
11:30 Large scale structure of the Universe
14:50 Collision of galaxy clusters (bullet clusters)
18:40 What can’t be dark matter?
18:50 Why it is not an interstellar gas
20:00 Why not small stars or big planets
22:30 Why not neutrino
26:00 why not black holes
32:00 Maybe something is wrong with our understanding of gravity? Modified Newtonian dynamics
35:30 Hypothetical particles which can form dark matter
37:30 WIMPs
43:40 Axions
52:10 Light shining through a wall experiment
54:25 Dark matter stars
58:50 Other ways to search for dark matter
59:00 AMS - particle detector in space
61:40 Dark matter at the Large hadron collider
63:30 Dark matter is a door to the new physics
64:30 Practical implementation of dark matter

How is life going on an Antarctic station? how physicists study glaciers and extract information about ancient climate? I'm speaking with Helene Hoffmann, she is a physicist from Germany, she studies glaciers and spent more than a year on a German Antarctic station.
00:40 Why do we study...

Can you imagine how the matter behaved right after the Big Bang?
Consider two atomic nuclei flying toward each other with almost speed of light. What happens if they collide? We create a tiny unstable droplet of the primordial matter.
This matter has nothing in common with the ordinary matter...
