La búsqueda de materia oscura

The video explores the search for dark matter in the deepest mine in Europe, located in North Yorkshire. Scientists believe dark matter makes up 85% of the universe's mass, yet it remains undetected. The video explains the challenges of detecting these invisible particles, which rarely interact with other matter. To increase detection chances, scientists use mines to reduce cosmic ray interference. A liquid xenon detector is used to identify dark matter through scintillation. The discovery of dark matter would be a monumental breakthrough in physics and cosmology.
