Professor Basudeb Dasgupta, a dark matter aficionado, will share his passion for the field and offer glimpses of his practice, showing us how scientists have to literallty dig deep undeground to unearth the endless possibilities and learnings in the universe. Dark matter is something we cannot see, but forms almost 80 per cent of everything around us. And it has made scientists question the age-old belief of the universe being a vast, empty space filled with celestial bodies. There is obviously some other matter out there. What could it be? What does it comprise? How much do we know about it?
Professor Dasgupta is a theoretical physicist at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai and the Head of a Max Planck Partner-group on Astroparticle Physics at TIFR.
