Dark matter’s not enough: why the Universe ought to be weirder + Q&A (Andrew Pontzen) (2014x30)

Air date: Oct 27, 2014

Andrew Pontzen will introduce the stranger side of the cosmos – dark matter and dark energy – but then argue that these things are not so weird or unexpected after all. The strangest thing is that our rule-laden cosmos should be so predictable.
