He earned a Ph. D in physics at Caltech in 1971, and went on to become one of the world's foremost experts on the Big Bang theory and an early proponent of the theory of dark matter. Physics (Greek Physis - φύσις in everyday terms is the Science of Matter and its motion.

The Big Bang is the cosmological model of the Universe that is best supported by all lines of scientific evidence and Observation. In Physics and cosmology, dark matter is hypothetical Matter that does not interact with the electromagnetic force but whose presence can be inferred from
Schramm received the Robert J. Trumpler Award of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific in 1974, the Helen B. Warner Prize for Astronomy from the American Astronomical Society in 1978, and he was awarded the Julius Edgar Lilienfeld Prize from the American Physical Society in 1993.

Schramm was killed on December 19, 1997, when the plane he was piloting crashed near Denver, Colorado. The City and County of Denver (pronounced /ˈdɛnvɚ/ is the Capital and the most populous city of Colorado, in the United States He was the sole occupant of the Swearingen-Fairchild SA-226 aircraft. According to the National Transportation Safety Board report on the accident, the cause of the crash was "(t)he pilot inadvertently stalling the aircraft and his subsequent spatial disorientation which prevented him from maintaining aircraft control. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB is an independent U Factors were excessive workload on the pilot and the dark night light conditions". At the time of his death he was Vice President for Research and Louis Block Distinguished Service Professor in the Physical Sciences at the University of Chicago. The University of Chicago is a Private university located principally in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago.
The David N. Schramm Award for High Energy Astrophysics Science Journalism was created in his honour in the year 2000 by the High-Energy Astrophysics Division of the American Astronomical Society. [1]
