Die Dunkle Materie: The Search for Dark Matter

Ms Karen McMillan (Postgraduate , Swinburne University of Technology)
The mystery of Dark Matter has puzzled scientists for almost a century. We follow the story from first inklings to the efforts to define Dark Matter and prove that it’s real. We will then look at some exciting Dark Matter sleuthing, happening near you in an underground lab in Stawell.
