A team of researchers hunt for dark matter deep underground in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

Invisible and mysterious, dark matter shapes the cosmos, but scientists are still trying to figure out what exactly it is.

"elusive matter" is more accurate

A ritual to Yog-Sothoth will reveal all the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy.

[sharilynmiller]

If you go searching for darkness, you’ll find it!

Isn’t there a similar place in Sudbury Ontario, two miles below earth in an old copper mine? They might be looking for neutrinos?

[Erik-bsnq]

They are looking for something they know nothing about. So how are they able to detect dark matter?

Define money laundering.
Spending money on more science fiction required to defibrillate the original Einstein sci-fi nonsense.

PBS this channel would do so much better if you dropped the short clips and only posted things in Full (even if you post way less). I've brushed by this channel for literally over a decade and I thought you just posted clips. Look at the views the full videos get, they would get even MORE without this small piece of information nonsense. Sorry, have a good day.

We are not allowed to solve this. So a waste of time and money.

HOW MUCH $$$$ HAS THIS COST AMERICAN 🇺🇸 TAXPAYERS?? WHATS THE BENIFITS TO US AMERICANS???

[Diapasonft]

Because there is nothing to find. Dark matter is science fiction. The grant grift goes on…

Who is paying for this unsuccessful BS?
