Fundamental physics from space (special colloquium)
The Standard Model of particle physics has been remarkably successful in explaining a wide variety of microscopic phenomena. This success is almost too good: we are searching for any hints of physics beyond the Standard Model. Over the last decade, evidence for new physics has come from an unlikely source: astrophysical observations. I describe some of these observations and explain how they are changing our view of the laws and constituents of the Universe.
