Horizon discovers that 96% of our Universe is Missing. Only a tiny 4% of the Universe is made of stuff we understand. The rest is made from something else. Some scientists claim to know what this is but others insist nothing is missing at all and that the real problem is far worse. They say that Newton, gravity and science is wrong and needs to be rewritten.
Dark matter, dark energy and variable gravity are put under the spotlight, as the world’s leading cosmologists attempt to explain the biggest problem in science today.
