Dark Matter & Dark Energy
Tyson delves into the mysterious realms of dark matter and dark energy, which together constitute about 95% of the universe. Dark matter, though invisible, exerts gravitational forces that affect the motion of galaxies. Dark energy, on the other hand, is responsible for the accelerated expansion of the universe. Tyson explains how these elusive components challenge our understanding of physics and highlight the vast unknowns that still exist in astrophysical research.

New data shows that the universe is not running out of energy like previous theories claimed, but is actually expanding at an accelerated rate.
Dark Matter Of The Universe
Dark Matter is a bizarre, unknown ingredient of the universe, which scientists cannot observe directly, but takes up 80 percent of the mass of the universe.
It is not seen by the naked eye as it does not emit light or energy. There are entire galaxies (like Dragonfly 44) that are made up e...
Proof That Dark Matter Exists
The way massive objects of the universe bend and distort gravity and light indicates to scientists about the existence of dark matter. The way large objects move about in the universe (velocity) also is a factor pushing towards the probability of much more mass than is visible.
