Heads up: fun video on matter, dark matter, and dark energy

By Doug Sweetser in The Stand-Up Physicist

Dark Matters from PHD Comics on Vimeo.

Sounds like they had a few physics grad students + Jorge Cham. A good and entertaining review of these major players on the cosmological stage. Note: dark energy is mentioned but not explored.

I am still looking for a few good relativistic rocket scientists to work on these issues.
