Shedding Light on Dark Matter



Topics: Environment

You can't see it, nor can you touch it, still, some scientists say dark matter accounts for the overwhelming majority of mass in our universe. Others have a counter argument.

Guests:
Chris Mihos, Professor of Astronomy, Case Western Reserve University
Dan Akerib, Chairman of Department of Physics, Case Western Reserve University
Stacy McGaugh, Associate Professor of Astronomy, University of Maryland
