"The Dark History of the Early Universe: Seeking Imprints of Dark Matter Interactions on the Cosmic Dawn" by Tracy Slatyer, Junior Visiting Professor in the IAS School of Natural Sciences.

November 20, 2018 at the Institute for Advanced Study

Abstract: "84% of the matter in the universe is 'dark,' presently invisible to us except through its gravitational interactions. However, even tiny interactions between dark and visible matter could have striking effects on the primordial history of our universe: ionizing, heating and/or cooling the intergalactic gas, and modifying the spectrum of low-energy background photons. Recent claims of a detection of 21cm line emission from the epoch of cosmic dawn, when the first stars were formed, would have striking implications for such interactions if confirmed; at the same time, constraints from even earlier epochs circumscribe the possible interpretations. I will discuss these implications—including the interplay between current constraints, the possible signal, and future probes—and describe work in progress on improved techniques to map out the possible signals of dark matter annihilation and decay in this epoch."

if dark matter interlaces here
why not track darkness in star fields?
map darkness, defined by fewer and no stars... i keep seeing circular concentrations of dark in many many starfields
like lacing cross-sections

She sounds brilliant and I don’t mind she speaks fast but that affect in her voice as she ends her sentences, I can’t understand what she’s saying.
