Why Does Dark Matter Matter?

Over the last couple of weeks I finally had the opportunity to engage in one of my favorite Aspen, Colorado activities, attending the Nick and Maggie DeWolf Public Lectures series hosted by the Aspen Center for Physics.

These free lectures allow physicists attending conferences at the Aspen Center for Physics to share their cutting-edge research with Aspen locals and visitors in such a way as to impart their knowledge on a level understandable to non-physicists.
