Dark matter makes up about 5 times as much of the matter in the universe as regular matter, though its composition is unknown. It interacts very weakly and was first discovered through its gravitational effects on galaxy rotations. Dark energy makes up about 75% of the universe and is causing its accelerating expansion, though the source is a mystery and quantum effects predict a much larger value. String theory landscape ideas may help explain the observed size of dark energy through vacuum selection in a complicated potential.

Hey I'm DIVYA SHREE NANDINI. I'm here with my new presentation on Black Hole. I'm sure you'll find it interesting. well first thing what is black hole- "Black hole, cosmic body of extremely intense gravity from which nothing, not even light, can escape. A black hole can be formed by the death of a massive star. When such a star has exhausted the internal thermonuclear fuels in its core at the end of its life, the core becomes unstable and gravitationally collapses inward upon itself, and the star’s outer layers are blown away. The crushing weight of constituent matter falling in from all sides compresses the dying star to a point of zero volume and infinite density called the singularity." wanna know more about it then come with me. :)
Slides from my presentation at the Joint CoEPP-CAASTRO Workshop (http://www.caastro.org/event/2013/coepp), 28 February 2013. Brief overview of the evidence for dark matter in the Universe, plus discussion of challenges, hints of possible signals, and some references for further reading.
The presentation time-slot was 30 minutes + 20 minutes discussion.

Dark Plasma Theory argues that dark matter is largely in the form of plasmas of exotic particles and that the Earth is sitting inside a Jupiter-sized dark biosphere. It predicts the existence of terrestrial dark plasma life forms which evolved from minimal plasma cell systems within this dark biosphere.
The entities that we have loosely identified as ghosts, angels, jinns, demons, deities (for example the Marian apparitions in the atmosphere), aliens, biological UFOs, fairies and sightings of the recently deceased (on the surface of the Earth) are characteristic of these predicted exotic plasma life forms from interpenetrating dark plasmaspheres or counterpart Earths.
One of the more interesting developments in the Theory after 2006 was the formulation of the Dark Ionization Process. This provided a mechanism for invisible dark plasma life forms to generate ordinary plasma which could be measured by scientific instruments and be visible when certain conditions prevailed.
This booklet is a compilation of articles on Dark Plasma Theory written by Jay Alfred after 2006.
El Británico Roger Penrose por sus desarrollos teóricos sobre agujeros negros. La Estadounidense Andrea Ghez y el Alemán Reinhald Genzel por el hallazgo de un objeto súper masivo y compacto en el centro de nuestra galaxia.

Tres investigadores han sido galardonados con el premio Nobel de Física de este año por sus descubrimientos sobre estos fenómenos supermasivos. Roger Penrose por demostrar su existencia según la teoría de la relatividad general y Reinhard Genzel y Andrea Ghez por demostrar que los agujeros negros son capaces de interferir en las órbitas de estrellas cercanas.
Los astrónomos Roger Penrose, Reinhard Genzel y Andrea Ghez se han hecho con el premio Nobel de Física de 2020. El primero de los científicos ha obtenido la mitad del galardón por la demostración fáctica de la existencia de los agujeros negros, siguiendo los preceptos de la teoría de la relatividad de Einstein. Los otros dos investigadores han sido distinguidos por el descubrimiento de un objeto supermasivo en el centro de la Vía Láctea, a unos 26.000 años luz de nuestro planeta.
Reinhard Genzel y Andrea Ghez descubrieron un agujero negro en el centro de la Vía Láctea comprobando la velocidad de las órbitas de sus estrellas circundantes.
“Los descubrimientos de los galardonados de este año han abierto nuevos caminos en el estudio de objetos compactos y supermasivos. Pero estos objetos exóticos todavía plantean muchas preguntas que piden respuestas y plantean nuevos retos de investigación en el futuro, no solo sobre la estructura interna de estos objetos masivos, sino también sobre cómo usar la teoría de la relatividad general en condiciones extremas”, ha declarado David Haviland, presidente del Comité Nobel de Física.
A preponderance of scientific evidence over the last hundred years tells us that our galaxy is filled with an unknown substance called dark matter. In fact, there is five times as much dark matter in the universe than there is ordinary matter: we are swimming in an ocean of dark matter and we have no firm idea what it is. We suspect that dark matter is composed of undiscovered elementary particles whose properties may, in turn, unlock some of the most pressing open questions in fundamental physics. So why haven't we figured out how to study dark matter in the lab, and why should we be optimistic that we may make progress in the coming decades?

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Dark matter and Dark energy
1. Dark Energy & Dark Matter
Shamit Kachru (Stanford and SLAC)
LASER, Stanford, August 2012
Tuesday, August 7, 2012
2. Introduction
It was the burden of Newton to teach us that the same
laws that we can infer from terrestrial experiments, also
apply in the heavens:
Tuesday, August 7, 2012
3. Fast foward 250+ years:
We have learned a lot about the constitution and
interactions of terrestrial matter!
Tuesday, August 7, 2012
4. But, starting with Newton’s observation, we can infer that
what we know about constitutes only a small fraction of
what exists:
In fact, Newtonian logic suffices to understand 1/4 of this.
The other 3/4 requires Einstein.
Tuesday, August 7, 2012
5. Dark Matter
Galaxies are massive, gravitationally bound systems that
consist of stars and stellar remnants, gas and dust, and, as
it happens, a bit more.
There are in excess of 170 billion galaxies in the observable
Universe. Telescopes capable of imaging distant galaxies
came online in the first quarter of the 20th century.
Tuesday, August 7, 2012
6. Fritz Zwicky and Vera Rubin were the first two to argue
that there is more to typical galaxies than meets the eye:
Tuesday, August 7, 2012
7. The flatness of the curve indicates that there is more
matter present outside the luminous core of the galaxy.
Quantitative estimates, based by now on a bewildering
variety of independent probes, indicate that there is five
times more of this “dark matter” than there is stuff we
know about!
From indirect tests, as well as e.g. the Bullet Cluster event,
Tuesday, August 7, 2012
8. we know the dark matter interacts with “our” stuff very
weakly. (Its self-interactions are also bounded).
Many candidates have been proposed for the composition
of this stuff (and maybe more than contributes some

at early times complete ! I will focus on

9. We aim to learn about it using either astrophysical “dark
matter annihilation” events (e.g. in the center of
the galaxy):
or via production or direct detection here on Earth:
Tuesday, August 7, 2012
10. Given that “our” 4% of the stuff gives rise to such diverse
structures and consequences, it is perhaps reasonable to
think that many things could be afoot in the dark sector.
Dark Energy
This still leaves us with a missing 75%. First of all, how do
we know that? It is already perhaps surprising that we
could infer the existence of the dark matter, which
interacts so very weakly with us.
The key to the discovery of dark energy lies back in the
original observations of Einstein and Hubble.
Tuesday, August 7, 2012
11. Einstein:
Gravitation is geometry. The geometry of space is fixed by
the matter within it.
Hubble:
Space-time at the largest scales illustrates this!
Tuesday, August 7, 2012
13. In a simple equation, the spatial slices are expanding in time
in a way governed by a(t), the “scale factor”:
ds = −dt + a (t)(dx + dy + dz )
2 2 2 2 2 2
The dynamics of the Universe at large scales is then
determined by how the various matter sources “tell” a(t)
to behave:
Tuesday, August 7, 2012
14. * Very little mass leads to a Universe which expands
forever, with the expansion slowed slightly by the
gravitational pull of matter.
* In contrast, above a critical amount, there is enough
matter that its gravitational pull causes recollapse of the
spatial slices -- a “big crunch”.
What was completely unexpected in 1998, when the
verdict came in, was the third possibility: a Universe that
not only continues to expand, but whose expansion
accelerates!
Tuesday, August 7, 2012
15. But this is what was found by a detailed study of the
properties of distant Type IA supernovae.
Because of the way they arise, such supernovae are thought
to be ~ “standard candles”.
Tuesday, August 7, 2012
16. Old supernovae are brighter than they should be -
because the expansion is accelerating!
Tuesday, August 7, 2012
17. “Normal” matter -- stuff that behaves like dust particles --
and even photons, cannot make the Universe do this.
In fact, as nearly as we can tell, the accelerated expansion is
caused by a small and positive “cosmological constant”
modifying Einstein’s theory -- an energy density of empty
space.
Tuesday, August 7, 2012
18. On the one hand, such a cosmological constant should not
have been unexpected (though it was).
“Virtual” quantum particles, if nothing else, would be
expected to generate a cosmological term in our best
theories.
This would be on top of any “classical” vacuum energy
present in our vacuum.
Tuesday, August 7, 2012
19. The best estimates we get from such quantum loops would
suggest a “natural” size for the vacuum energy roughly
1060 − 10120 times larger than what we see!
How are we to understand this? We’re not sure yet.
Amazingly, the most conservative answer today (still
untested) relies on vacuum selection occurring in a
complicated potential landscape:
Tuesday, August 7, 2012
20. Such a potential landscape seems to arise naturally in string
theory, one promising candidate for a theory unifying
gravity with other interactions:
But to do justice to this subject would require further
discussion of eternal inflation, string theory, and even
anthropic arguments; all would take us far afield, and we
have no more time!
Tuesday, August 7, 2012
21. Thanks for your attention!
