Most of what we know about dark matter is how it behaves, not what it's made of. It doesn't interact with light so you can't see it. Is it stuff coming out of black holes? Probably not. And that was a question that came out under the influence of THC.
Is it time to update the constellations? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Matt Kirshen dive into astrophysics, folklore, and our ancient connection to the stars with astrophysicist Moiya McTier, Ph.D.
