Vera Rubin gave an evening lecture during the 19th General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union, in 1985 at New Delhi, on dark matter. It was a lucid introduction to the issues regarding dark matter, as well as a comprehensive review of the evidences for dark matter. This extraordinary lecture, aimed towards non-specialists, is reprinted below.

The Theory of Pressure-ionization and its Applications
Kothari’s classic paper on the theory of pressure ionization showed that matter can be ionized at high pressure as a logical extension of Saha’s theory of thermal ionization to cold matter. Saha’s theory was applied to non-degenerate electron gas and Kothari considered non-relativistic degenerate electron gas subjected to high pressures, such as occurring in astrophysical objects under their own gravity. He used the virial theorem to predict the degree of ionization as a function of its density. It showed that (i) stellar material in the interiors of white dwarf stars should be fully ionized even at zero temperature, (ii) it is possible for hydrogen to go into a metallic state at high pressures as in the interior of Jupiter and Saturn, (iii) there exists a maximum radius of a non-relativistic degenerate electron gas system (cold body), the value being nearly that of Jupiter.

Motions that exchange symmetry non-equivalent atoms within a molecule, referred to as fluxional processes or non-dissociative exchange mechanisms, are documented for many chemical species. Two very well-known examples are the axial/equatorial hydrogen exchange in cyclohexane and the Berry pseudorotation that exchanges the axial and equatorial atoms in trigonal bipyramidal compounds. An interesting aspect of inorganic molecular structure of such intramolecular reactions is the characterization of the rearrangements of fluxional molecules.
