Delve into the existence of virtual particles in the vacuum of space, the role of quantum entanglement, and the potential of accessing higher dimensions through experiments. Discuss the implications of dark matter in a parallel universe, the leakage of gravity between membranes, and the properties of dark energy in the universe. Explore the challenges of applying quantum mechanics to gravity and the need for a deeper understanding of the cosmological constant.
How do particles get mass? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice discover squarks, sneutrinos, the Higgs boson, and whether dark matter has a particle with theoretical physicist Brian Greene.
