The Origin of Matter in the Universe

https://www.ph.ed.ac.uk/events/2017/76053-the-origin-of-matter-in-the-universe

Paul Dirac proposed the baryon symmetric universe in 1933. This proposal has become very attractive now, since it seems that all pre-existing asymmetry would have been diluted if we had an inflationary stage in the early universe. However, if our

Dynamics of Dark Matter

https://www.ph.ed.ac.uk/events/2023/83197-dynamics-of-dark-matter

'Dark matter ' (DM) is a dynamical hypothesis born from our inability to comprehend kinematic observations at the galaxy scale and larger using baryonic matter only. Astronomers have struggled with the implications of DM for galaxy formation and
