Before finding out what is dark matter we might first need to find what it isn't. In this interview Dr Keir Rogers explains what do we currently know about dark matter, what can we find in the near future and how the upcoming astronomy instruments might help us with all that. 🦄 Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/universetoday📚 Suggest books in the book club:https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/1198440-universe-today-book-club00:00 Intro01:22 What are axions07:25 How to look for axions16:25 What dark matter isn't22:56 Future telescopes 35:05 Best possible instrument to search for dark matter📺 VIDEO VERSIONhttps://youtu.be/-6Yn3ajT6_A📰 EMAIL NEWSLETTERRead by 60,000 people every Friday.

This is an episode of John Michael Godier's show Event Horizon. We explore the extraordinary idea of robo-eels, groundbreaking aquatic automatons designed to unlock the mysteries of water worlds like Enceladus and Europa. Then, we shift gears to discuss NASA's riveting UAP study, exploring unidentified aerial phenomena and their implications for our understanding of the universe. Finally, John and Fraser get into the ever changing realm of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and contemplate its potential impact on our future. ⚫️ Event Horizon:https://www.youtube.com/@EventHorizonShow🦄 Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/universetoday📚 Suggest books in the book club:https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/1198440-universe-today-book-club📺 VIDEO VERSIONhttps://youtu.be/xhA-tBfg-gw📰 EMAIL NEWSLETTERRead by 60,000 people every Friday.
