On October 26, dark matter researchers Katie Mack and Ken Clark shared insights into the ubiquitous, mysterious matter that makes up the majority of stuff in our universe.
Dark Matter Night was a live webcast brought to you by Perimeter Institute and the McDonald Institute. Starting off the evening, Katie Mack discussed the theoretical and observational foundations of dark matter at Perimeter Institute, where she holds the Hawking Chair in Cosmology and Science Communication. Next, Ken Clark, an associate professor at the Arthur B. McDonald Canadian Astroparticle Physics Research Institute, shared experimental approaches that could help solve the riddle of dark matter. We also got a guided video tour of SNOLAB, the state-of-the-art underground laboratory two kilometres beneath Sudbury.

At 1.3mm, the wavelength at which the Event Horizon Telescope observed in 2017, the large-scale jet is hardly visible. By separating the ring from the diffuse image, it is now possible to detect the footprints of the jet just outside the event horizon.Anatomy of a black hole imagePerimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics2022-08-16 | A bright, thin ring typically appears in simulated images produced from astrophysical models of M87, arising from the infinite sequence of additional images of the emission region. This feature is superimposed on the more diffuse primary image, produced by the photons that come directly toward Earth. When viewed at the imaging resolution of the Event Horizon Telescope, the two components blur together. However, by separately searching for the thin ring, it is possible to sharpen the view of M87, isolating the fingerprint of strong gravity.
Simulations predicted that, hidden behind the glare of the diffuse orange glow of the 2019 image, there should be a thin, bright ring of light created by photons flung around the back of the black hole by its intense gravity.
“We turned off the searchlight to see the fireflies,” explains Broderick, an associate faculty member at Perimeter Institute and the University of Waterloo. “We have been able to do something profound – to resolve a fundamental signature of gravity around a black hole.”

Hardy joins co-hosts Lauren and Colin for a conversation about the puzzles that have driven him throughout his career, including the past 20 as a Perimeter faculty member. Hardy recalls the radio program that first sparked his childhood curiosity about the universe, describes his operational approach to big quantum puzzles, and explains the paradox that bears his name (as well as a second, somewhat-tongue-in-cheek paradox devised by his wife).

Ghazal Geshnizjani and Niayesh Afshordi split their time between investigating the mysteries of the cosmos and raising their young family. Both are researchers at Perimeter Institute and the University of Waterloo, exploring concepts like the beginning of the universe, the extreme gravity of black hole singularities, the mysteries of dark energy, and other big open questions in astrophysics. Both are also passionate about sparking a love of science in others (including their kids), which led Ghazal to write the illustrated children’s book Bella the Black Hole. In this conversation with Lauren and Colin, they explain the big challenges that drive them, and how their differing individual approaches to research complement one another.

On this special episode of Conversations at the Perimeter, Lauren and Colin talk with EHT scientist Avery Broderick, who leads the EHT Initiative at Perimeter Institute, about the significance of this discovery. He explains how the EHT collaboration created an “Earth-sized telescope” – a network of eight radio telescopes on five continents, all focussed on a single spot on the night sky: the heart of the Milky Way, 27,000 light-years from Earth. Broderick holds the Delaney Family John Archibald Wheeler Chair at Perimeter, and is an associate faculty member jointly appointed to Perimeter and the University of Waterloo. He also leads the EHT Initiative at Perimeter Institute, which is one of the 13 partner organizations in the EHT. Although his childhood dream of voyaging through the universe on the Starship Enterprise remains out of reach, Broderick says hunting black holes (or "fire donuts," as he playfully calls them) is the next-best thing.
