It's looking like the dark side is bigger than we thought! Physicists speculate that perhaps 96% of the universe consists of invisible dark matter and dark energy, while only 4% is what we can view with the aided eye. This flabbergasting concept is explained with simplifying graphics and animated narration. A terrific film clip that will be a stimulating addition to your physics presentation when your class is studying fundamental particles. And may the force be with you!
