The universe is mostly made of things we cannot see
In short: We can only account for a tiny fraction of the cosmos. This talk explores why our current understanding of physics hits a wall when trying to identify the missing 96 percent of everything.
Particle physicists are currently facing a major snag in identifying the components of dark matter and dark energy. Because these substances make up the vast majority of the universe, their existence suggests that our current models of nature may be incomplete.
Claire Malone argues that instead of just looking for new particles, we must question our fundamental understanding of reality itself. This shift in perspective invites a deeper way of viewing the cosmos beyond what is currently observable.
