Dark Matter, Galaxy Formation, Dark Energy & Advanced Cosmology | Dr. Mike Boylan-Kolchin

In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Mike Boylan-Kolchin, a research professor of Cosmology & Astrophysics at the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Boylan-Kolchin's research delves deep into the origins of Galaxies within our universe, using data gathered from highly advanced telescopes to observe cosmic radiation left over from the formation of the universe. He also studies Dark Matter & Dark Energy, the former being hypothesized as the "glue" that holds galaxies together.
