Seminarium KMMF "Teoria Dwoistości"

Answering the question about the nature and properties of dark matter has become a mandatory task for any theory extending the Standard Model of particle physics. I will present a personally biased review of some indirect evidence for the existence of dark matter, as well as the most important attempts to detect dark matter particles directly in the laboratory. My goal is to convey the state of confusion currently permeating the community of dark matter theorists and experimentalists.
