Welcome to the Dark Matter pages

This subject is vast. I started this page in 2006, when the subject was already vast and well-established. Too vast: though I've developed an entire course on the subject, I've never had time to develop this page. There is just too much.

I did develop a few interesting links, which I provide here:

• Experimental Seaches for Dark Matter the basic physics with commentary and a running history of non-detections.
• A personal recollection of how we learned to stop worrying and love the Lambda (2019).
  • This started as a Twitter thread that I expanded for the benefit of our dean,
  • then became a blog post.
• Through a Universe Darkly - a brief account written for Science in 2007.
• The State of Cosmology (2006).

Though some of these links are now old, nothing has really changed. The field is trapped in the amber of our obsession with invisible mass.

The longer-term view on progress in this field:

Cosmology - MOND - cold dark matter - modified newtonain dynamics
