If standard gravitational theory is correct, then most of the matter in the universe is in an unidentified
form which does not emit enough light to have been detected by current instrumentation. This review volume
is the extended editon of the lectures given in the 4th Jerusalem Winter School of Theoretical Physics,
with new materials added in. It devoted to the discussion of the so-called "missing matter" problem in the
universe - dark matter and dark energy. The goal of this volume is to make current research work on unseen
matter accessible to students of faculties without prior experience in this area. Due to the pedagogical
nature of the notes and the intense discussions between students and the lecturers, the written lectures
included in this volume often contain techniques and explanations not found in more formal journal
publications.
