What is Dark Matter and Dark Energy?

What is dark energy? What is dark matter? Well, if we knew exactly we would have a nobel prize – we know that they exist though. So what do we know about those strange things?

"The more I learn, the more I learn how much I have to learn." From a Charlie Brown poster in my 6th grade classroom.

[mushymushybrainjuices]

So, dark matter:
- It is a thing that exists
- Yeah

[bhaktaskitchen]

How to make a Kurzgesagt video:
1. Make brilliant animations
2. Get a good narrator
3. Make people paranoid about death
4. *add some birds*

[adrian_shmadrian]

I got assigned a presentation on dark energy by my physics teacher and she linked this video as an "interesting lecture to reference". This made me love my teacher even more.

[purplehaze]

Basic summary of the video (And humanity as a whole for that matter)’s knowledge on it;
-It exists
-It does stuff

[ooccttoo]

(meanwhile, in 2567) Wow, I can't believe no one had figured out dark energy back in the early millennium. That shit's so simple, we teach it at primary school!

[notAD]

I love how they explain hard topics in such a simple way

[sumedha]

"The dark side is more powerful"- Even science says it now. There's no doubt in it that Anakin was smarter than his son was.

[ImaginaryHuman]

this entire channel is blowing my mind

[jojo-dhij]

In 3020
" How to make your own dark matter" (diy)

[iluzt]

Let's take a moment to appreciate the animation

I’m a junior in high school, and am currently doing a lot of college tours. Physics is an interesting field and my current first choice for major. This spring break, I have the chance to meet with a world leading professor/researcher in the field of dark matter. I’m super excited and am trying to watch more videos on the concept itself in order to be better prepared. This was super interesting and helpful! Thanks!

Update: I’m now going into my college freshman year as a physics and math major and i’m super excited!

Thanks, Kurzgesagt

People are always talking about the existential crises Kurzgesagt gave them.
Imagine the amount of existential crises Kurzgesagt has while editing and studying.

[karlamay_]

Thanks to this, every time I feel depressed- I just remind myself that everything that I am going through is just a tiny fraction of reality and that it will just pass...

[Noobprokermit]

I remember finding this video as a kid when I was 7. What a joy it's been to be able to enjoy this channel for 8 years

[colbyboudreaux]

Why am I watching these shows I can’t even perform proper math.

[mightfq]

'you cannot taste it'
me: *starts violently licking the air trying to taste dark energy*

[dimitriosnikolaidis]

Kurzgeagt, this is one of my favorite videos and I would be really glad if you made a part two. All of your videos are so intresting and instead of watching other stuff in YouTube I spend hours watching YOUR videos.
Thanks for all of the time you spend making these videos!
