However, what we can see makes up only five per cent of the energy of the universe. The other 95 per cent is comprised of dark matter \u2013 a mysterious dark energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this talk, Stolarski will discuss what we do and do not know about dark matter and dark energy. He will describe theoretical and experimental techniques being developed by scientists to further understand these mysterious phenomena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Science Caf\u00e9 series is organized by the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/science.carleton.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Faculty of Science<\/a>&nbsp;at Carleton University to discuss relevant issues facing our society and how science can help solve real-world problems.
