Physics & Astronomy
Colloquium
The Standard Model of particle physics has been remarkably
successful in explaining a wide variety of microscopic phenomena. This
success is almost too good: we are searching for any hints of physics
beyond the Standard Model. Over the last decade, evidence for new
physics has come from an unlikely source: astrophysical
observations. I describe some of these observations and explain how they
are changing our view of the laws and constituents of the Universe.
