So as I have two of these things in the hallway, I headed into the bathroom at the Speyer Legacy School, but there's not such great acoustic insulation between the hallway and the bathroom. And as soon as I disappeared from the scene, the kids start asking each other well what's this and what's that? The question becomes how do we have a map of dark matter? It's dark, how do we know where it is with that kind of specificity? And I was astounded that very quickly, the third and fourth graders figured out that you use the gravitational lensā€”that's one way of doing thisā€”to figure out where the distortions in space and time are, and indirectly infer the position of the dark matter by its effect on visible light, which is a very advanced idea for people who don't know the Einstein field equations.
