How the Edge of Our Galaxy Defies Known Physics

How is it possible that you can't see 95% of the universe? The edge of our milky way defies known physics, so physicists are using the LHC at CERN to search for Dark Matter.

Dianna Cowern from Physics Girl visited CERN and spoke to theoretical physicists about Dark Matter.
