Dominated by Matter and Gravity **(1011 galaxies, 1022 stars)

(or Newtonian Mechanics)

** This is far from the whole truth !!

15 billions = 1.5 x 10 12

years ago

and since thenever expanding

Will the Expansion ever stop ?

Inflation predicts a flat universe.

This means that the Density of Matter and Energyequals the so called critical density

Ordinary Matter can account for only up to5% of the critical density

Dark Matter Problems

The First Dark Matter problem:these Galaxies should simply not exist !

Need a spherical halo of matter around the galaxy

So:is there

invisible (dark) matteraround the

galaxy ?

Large amounts of invisible (dark) matter

Can NOT be ordinary matter :- does not interact with light- does not interact with ordinary matter- does concentrate around galaxies and in galaxy clusters.

What is it ???

If the answer is Super Symmetric Particles,

LHC will find it !!

CERN, 31 January, CERN, 31 January, 20012001CERN, 31 January, CERN, 31 January, 20012001Egil Lillestøl, CERN & Univ. of BergenEgil Lillestøl, CERN & Univ. of BergenEgil Lillestøl, CERN & Univ. of BergenEgil Lillestøl, CERN & Univ. of Bergen

The Second Dark Matter problem:The dark matter seems to make uponly 30-50% of the critical density

This may be linked with observations ofa possible accelerating expansion ofthe universe at large distances.

Study of type 1a Supernovae

(1a Supernovae ≈ standard light sources)

Far away* supernovae seem to be too far away !

Very difficult observations, but if true could mean:

Resurrection of Einstein’s Cosmological Constant,or “Qintessence” - one more possibility of

Exotic Matter ????Need more astronomical data

Need the LHC for a better understanding ofdark matter

* for specialists - red shifts z ≈ 1

The Smallest Structures

where Quantum Mechanics reigns, andwhere particles are waves, and waves are particles

Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Relation:

(x)(p) ≈ h/(2) or (t)(E) ≈ h/(2)

h is Planck’s constant - a very small number, (6.6x10-34Js)x is position, p is momentum,t is time, and E is energy.(x) means uncertainty in position, etc

Stable (ordinary) matter:

one up quark (charge +2/3)

one down quark (charge -1/3)

one electron (charge -1)

one neutrino (no charge, “no” mass)

But for what do we need the neutrino??

The Forces of Nature(what is a force?)

Newton and Gravity

Faraday and Fields

Forces as “Exchange” Particles

An important difference between Matter Particles and Force Particles:M.P. obey Pauli’s Principle, i.e. only one particle for each quantum state.F.P. does not have this constraint and can clump together.

This is why Matter appears to be Solid

Is the Quantum World a Fuzzy World?

The answer is a clearNO !

QM means that all thequalities of the subatomicworld and by extension ofeverything can be exactly quantified !

Photon, E = h

Can not use light microscopes to study atoms !!!

Quantum mechanics tells us thatparticles behave like waves and visa versa:

Use electron microscopes

How does a point in empty space know exactlythe variety of particles it can produceand all their properties and their forces .... ???

Back to Heisenberg and Faraday:Particles and Forces are Quantum Fields fillingevery point of “Empty” Space (or the “Vacuum”).

The Fields materialize as Particles whenEnergy is fed into this Vacuum.

Structures are temporary, the Pattern lasts for ever !
