Dark Matter

Released in 2012, this documentary explores the enigma of dark matter, an invisible substance inferred to comprise approximately 85% of the universe's mass yet undetectable by conventional means. It traces evidence from galactic rotation curves observed by Vera Rubin, gravitational lensing effects, and cosmic microwave background data, while detailing ongoing experiments at facilities like the Large Hadron Collider and underground detectors searching for candidate particles such as WIMPs or axions. Featuring interviews with leading astrophysicists and particle physicists, the film highlights collaborative efforts across cosmology and particle physics to identify dark matter's composition, potentially revolutionizing understanding of the universe's structure and evolution.
