Title: Dark Matters

Abstract:

One of the greatest mysteries in the cosmos is that it is mostly dark. That is, not only is the night sky dark, but also most of the matter in the universe is dark. For every atom visible in planets, stars and galaxies today, there exists at least five or six times as much weakly interacting “Dark Matter'' in the universe. I will review the various signatures of dark matter, and discuss prospects for its detection.
