And some news clippings:
- My interview with Beyond the Books podcast about Black Holes (July 2020)
Dark Matter & Neutrinos with Dr. Aksel Hallin – Beyond the Books
Dark Matter is the most mysterious substance in the universe. Dark matter's gravitational effects explain the rotation of galaxies, the motions of clusters, and the largest structures in the universe. We talk with Dr. Aksel Hallin, Canada Research Chair in astroparticle physics, to learn what dark matter is, how neutrinos help its significance, his impression of the science on The Big Bang Theory, and more!
