Show Notes: Cosmology 2
From Slackerpedia Galactica
Recording Date: May 15, 2007
This is our second interview from KICP. Dr. Andrey Kravtsov gives an overview of the concept of Dark Matter along with current understandings, challenges and experiments (both active and in development) to detect it.
We hope to produce on a video podcast using some of his simulations later this week.

- Mario Livio, "The accelerating universe"
- Pedro G. Ferreira, "State of the Universe: primer in modern cosmology" (2006, London)
- "Scientific American", February 2004 issue (it is a special issue on cosmology).
