About this listen

Dark matter makes up most of the universe, yet no one has ever seen it. This episode explores the strongest observational evidence for dark matter, from galactic rotation curves to gravitational lensing, and why its true nature remains unknown.

We break down the leading theoretical candidates, including WIMPs, axions, and primordial black holes, while also examining radical alternatives like modified gravity.

From deep underground detectors to space-based observatories, we look at how scientists are hunting the unseen—and how new data from cosmic surveys and gravitational waves could finally reveal what dark matter really is
