About this episode
After almost a century, dark matter may finally have been seen. Using data from the Fermi telescope, Professor Totani detected a unique gamma-ray signal near the Galactic center that perfectly matches the predicted annihilation of WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles).
This could be humanity's first direct glimpse of the universe's elusive material, hinting at a new particle beyond the standard model.
