Abstract:
In the 1950's an American scientist discovered that the stars in rotating spirical galaxies seem to be held together by an unseen force. Vera Rubin proposed the idea that the space between the stars was filled by invisible stuff she called dark matter. The race is now on to find this mysterious stuff that scientists now believe could make up an unbelievable 99% of the universe. When we do find it, we'll know whether our universe will expand forever and end as a frozen desert or contract under the force of gravity in a terrifying "big crunch."
