Chicago’s Dark Matter Photographs! Hot Off the Presses!

Chicago’s Dark Matter was a wondrous exploration in what experts think the nature of matter is.

For Dr.’s Rocky Kolb, Juan Collar, & Carlos Wagner of the University of Chicago, WIMP’s are the best candidates for Dark Matter.

WIMP’s stands for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles, the invisible matter that is theorized to constitute nearly 90% of the matter of the entire universe.

Since astronomers realized that there should be more matter holding galaxies together, the hunt has been on for one of the most complicated questions in the history of mankind: How did we get here?

Thank you to all for coming to this great discussion.
