Behind the scenes of the Universe - from the Higgs to Dark Matter

An extraordinary discovery in the 20th century shook the foundations of cosmology and particle physics; the Universe is filled with an unknown, elusive substance that is different from anything we have ever seen before. It is called dark matter, and it constitutes one of the most pressing challenges of modern science. There is now a worldwide race to identify the nature of this mysterious form of matter, aiming to help us understand what makes up a large part of our Universe. Gianfranco Bertone will take us through the far-reaching implications of this discovery.
