Come to the Queen Mary Dark Matter Day Event and discover the mysterious substance called ‘Dark Matter’. Hear about evidence for its existence and how teams of scientists are searching to find out exactly what it is. Listen to three talks given about this expedition all the way from the vast expanse of space to the inside of the smallest particles that make up all matter. Delve into the secrets of the universe alongside the researchers and ask them questions!
