Can we manufacture the invisible substance that holds our universe together?

Could we create dark matter? - Rolf Landua · 5:49 · Video: TED-Ed · Watch at the source

In short: Dark matter constitutes eighty-five percent of all matter within the cosmos, though its makeup is still unknown. This video explores how scientists at CERN might use the Large Hadron Collider to finally detect and create this elusive substance.

The universe is dominated by dark matter, an invisible substance that accounts for eighty-five percent of all matter. Because we have yet to directly observe it, physicists are looking toward the Large Hadron Collider to find answers. CERN scientist Rolf Landua explains the theoretical process of using the world's most powerful particle collider to discover and potentially create these unknown particles.
