What Is Dark Matter Made Of with Dr. Surjeet Rajendran
My guest today is Dr. Surjeet Rajendran, a physics professor at Johns Hopkins University. In addition to his teaching, Dr. Rajendran s research is in theoretical physics, with a strong focus on what comes after the standard model. What could dark matter be? How can gravity be merged with quantum mechanics? https://physics-astronomy.jhu.edu/directory/rajendran/ Timecodes Start 00:00:00 Introduction 00:01:42 Have the theorists gotten too far away from the experimenters? 00:03:14 What s the best way to make progress? 00:07:27 How can we constrain the properties of dark matter? 00:14:15 What kind of experiments can support this search? 00:17:52 How could we search for heavy dark matter particles? 00:23:27 What about medium-mass dark matter? 00:27:40 How should researchers design their experiments? 00:33:30 Should scientists search for more negative results? 00:36:00 How could we get experimenters better tools? 00:40:35 Is particle physics stuck? 00:43:49 When will uncover the true nature of dark matter? 00:52:30 Advice for young researchers 00:55:23 🚀 OUR WEBSITE: ════════════════════════════════════ https://www.universetoday.com/ 🚀 PODCAST LINKS: ════════════════════════════════════ RSS: https://universetoday.com/audio iTunes: https://universetoday.com/itunes Spotify: https://universetoday.com/spotify 🚀 EMAIL NEWSLETTER: ════════════════════════════════════ Read by 50,000 people every Friday.
