Patricia Burchat sheds light on dark matter     (on Ted.Com)

"Patricia Burchat studies the structure and distribution of dark matter and dark energy. These mysterious ingredients can't be measured in conventional ways, yet form a quarter of the mass of our universe."  (Ted.com)

 

Brian Greene on string theorythe guy known as "the guy seen on Nova's 'Elegant Universe'.

Richard Dawkins on our "queer" universe      This is all about if you think you understand quantum mechanics, then you really don't.  What are the limitations of the mind to understand it.  But not really.  Definitely, a fun one for fans of Deleuse an Guittari.  Browninian motion (chaos and fractals)  (Ted.com)

 Stephen Hawking asks big questions about the universe  

 

George Smoot on the design of the universe  understanding what the universe looks like.  What does dark matter, dark energy etc  look like.
