Dark Matter vs. Dark Energy

Scott Dodelson
Fermilab and The University of Chicago

There is abundant evidence for dark matter in the universe. Why even consider the alternative of modifying gravity? Despite its role as an underdog, modified gravity has scored a number of successes. Several recent advances, both theoretical and observational, have given new life to this old idea. I will try to convince you that the game is not over, and that the struggle between the two approaches is as exciting as ever.
