If you believe the world’s leading physicists, the vast majority of matter in the universe is hiding in plain sight. For nearly a century, evidence has mounted that the gravitational pull necessary to keep clusters of galaxies intact, as well as stars within galaxies from flying apart, requires far more matter than we can see—matter, according to the experts, that has eluded our telescopes, because it does not give off light. Problem is, such “dark matter” has also eluded one specially designed detector after another that researchers have deployed to catch it. Which raises the big question: What if we have failed to find dark matter because it isn’t there? Join leading physicists on a scientific treasure hunt that has proved more challenging than anyone expected, and may ultimately require rethinking some of our most fundamental ideas about the universe.
This program is part of the BIG IDEAS SERIES, made possible with support from the JOHN TEMPLETON FOUNDATION.

BEER.Hey @gijoge, here is a little bit of
BEERfor you. Enjoy it!Most scientists are too stuck on what they think rather than what reality is telling them.... Long story short.... Dark matter doesn't exist. The "extra gravity" in the universe is actually a result of the dodecehedral mass distribution in the universe which has been proven to produce gravity. If you care to read about someone who lays out many of the flaws with mainstream physics please read Dewey B Larson's book "nothing but motion" or Dan winter(fractal field.com) who clearly shows with highly accurate conceptual and mathematic formulas how and why gravity is formed as well as how to produce gravity. Take a look and enjoy
