MegaMenger Build at PI: Timelapse

Mathematics met arts-and-crafts when Perimeter Institute was one of 20 sites worldwide that participated in the MegaMenger Project to build an enormous, 3D fractal on Oct. 26, 2014. With the help of some amazing students from around Waterloo Region, who folded thousands and thousands of cards, we constructed a Level-3 Menger Sponge. Learn more: http://ow.ly/DsSz3

Why we have not discovered dark matter: A theorist’s apology | Public Lecture

A preponderance of astronomical evidence suggests that the galaxy is filled with dark matter. Despite knowing remarkably little about what this dark matter is, we expect that it is not composed of ordinary matter. Though we have spent 30 years expecting that it may be related to pressing open problems in fundamental physics, a heroic […]
