About this episode

For more than a century, Albert Einstein’s theory of General Relativity has been our best description of gravity. It explains how planets orbit stars, how galaxies move through space, and even how black holes warp the fabric of the universe. Yet despite its extraordinary success, some of the biggest mysteries in modern physics remain unsolved. Scientists still do not know the true nature of dark matter and dark energy, the invisible ingredients believed to make up most of the cosmos.
