How does our understanding of the origins of the universe continue to expand and evolve? What tools and theories continue to push our understanding into further realms?

At After Dark: Dark Matter, we’ll hear from scientists and leaders whose work is at the forefront of cosmology and essential to forming and informing humans’ deepening grasp of the science of the universe. In particular, we’ll learn about dark matter, a mysterious and invisible substance that scientists have yet to observe but assume accounts for nearly five times as much of the universe as ordinary matter.
