Andrew Goetz : General Relativity, Wave Dark Matter, and the Tully-Fisher relation

Abstract: In this talk I will give a quick overview of Einstein's theory of general relativity. I will then move on to discuss the mystery of dark matter: why astrophysicists think it's out there in the universe and what phenomena any successful theory of dark matter will have to explain. One such phenomenon is the Tully-Fisher relation, an intriguing correlation between the visible mass of galaxies and the rotational velocities of their stars. I will wrap up by describing a theory of wave dark matter and how it could possibly explain the Tully-Fisher relation.
