Venue: Lyle Theatre 101, Redmond Barry Building
Presenters: Professor Elisabetta Barberio
Einstein’s General Theory of relativity provides an exceptionally accurate theory for gravity and matter at the largest scales. But observations of the way stars move subject to gravity in the galaxies show there is more gravity that can be accounted for by the visible stars. Gravity from invisible dark matter is proposed to explain the discrepancies. Despite concerted searches, no other trace of this dark matter has yet been found. Prof Barbario introduces a new observatory being built at the bottom of a gold mine at Stawell in central Victoria. Working with international partners, this observatory may find clear signals from the missing matter.
