Particle Mysteries: The Coldest Case

Chasing Shadows

Show Description:

Where there are suspects, there’s a lineup. Physicists have started to define what exactly dark matter could be through a combination of computational modeling, hints from experiments, and some good old thinking outside the box. But that has produced a wide range of potential candidates for dark matter. So let’s ask: who are you, dark matter? What do you really look like, and what are you really up to?

Digging Deep

Show Description:

There is something enormous scattered throughout the universe—so, what could it be? Scientists are dissecting the underlying clues of dark matter and discovering that their investigation is becoming increasingly complex. Explore how the study of the smallest particles intersects with our understanding of the largest bodies in the universe. Strap on your helmet, as we need to go underground for this journey.

On this episode of The Coldest Case, we follow our hosts underground as they visit scientists conducting experiments in the search for Dark Matter. Explore how the study of the smallest particles intersects with our understanding of the largest bodies of the universe.

Thanks to this episode's interviewees for taking the time to share their expertise with us.
