• Key points – we are pretty darn certain it is
present in larger quantities than baryons.
• Can provide the extra gravity, extra unseen
perturbation, to let galaxies grow from the
small observed temperature fluctuations.
• Unknown what it is!  Recall our previous class
discussion (chapter 2).
• Terminology in this game describes “hot” and
“cold” dark matter, indicating whether or not
particles are relativistic when they decouple.
