Atticus Bastow on the mysteries of the universe at the bottom of an abandoned mine shaft
Over 90 years ago, a swiss astrophysicist theorised there was an unseen, unobservable force that sits behind the universe we know.
He called it ‘dark matter’, and today we’re not much closer to understanding it than he was.
But that could be about to change, as a group of Australian researchers are part of our most promising effort yet to uncover the nature of this unseen force
Today, Atticus Bastow will read his piece, ‘The search for dark matter’ from The Saturday Paper.
