Astrophysicists Discuss New Evidence for Dark Matter Stars

Is dark matter a particle? We discuss Einstein, humanity's big questions, and particle candidates for dark matter. What is a WIMP? Learn about the four forces in the universe and their relationship to dark matter. How do WIMPs play into supersymmetry’s theoretical framework?

We explore the process of making a prediction and eventually getting it verified experimentally, like Enrico Fermi and neutrinos. How do we verify a dark matter particle? If dark matter doesn’t interact with us does it interact with itself?

When was dark matter created? Discover how dark matter keeps galaxies together and how dark stars may be the possible answer to what JWST found in the early universe.

What is a dark star? Could dark stars be how we get supermassive black holes? We discuss the difficulty in solving the supermassive black hole problem. Did any of the JWST primordial objects line up with the prediction of dark stars?

In addition to The Big Bang, was there a Dark Big Bang? We talk about what it's like to introduce a new idea and receive resistance and the progression of science.
