Difficulties in Simulating Known Physics as an Impediment to Dark Matter Research

Abstract Summary

James Bullock (University of California, Irvine)

Several potential problems with the standard Cold Dark Matter model of dark matter involve non-linear predictions on scales where galaxies matter. Galaxy formation is an unsolved problem. In this talk I will discuss how our potential inability to self-consistently simulate galaxies affects our understanding of dark matter and prospects for overcoming this difficulty in the future.
