DESCRIPTION:The ordinary atoms that make up the known universe—from our 
 bodies and the air we breathe to the planets and stars—constitute only 5
  percent of all matter and energy in the cosmos. The rest is known as dark
  matter and dark energy\, because their precise identities are unknown. Th
 is talk will review the hunt for dark matter\, from the discoveries of vi
 sionary scientists like Fritz Zwicky—the Swiss astronomer who coined the
  term "dark matter" in 1933—to the deluge of data today from underground
  laboratories\, satellites in space\, and the Large Hadron Collider.\n\nTh
 eorists contend that dark matter consists of fundamental particles known a
 s WIMPs\, or weakly interacting massive particles. Billions of them pass t
 hrough our bodies every second without us even realizing it\, yet their gr
 avitational pull is capable of whirling stars and gas at breakneck speeds 
 around the centers of galaxies\, and bending light from distant bright obj
 ects. \n\nMany cosmologists believe we are on the verge of solving the my
 stery. In this talk we will explore the concepts needed to fully fathom t
 his epochal moment in humankind’s quest to understand the universe.\n\nh
