How to Find Dark Matter with a Billion Pendulums | SciShow News

The video explores the mystery of dark matter, a particle that outweighs regular matter but remains undetected. Traditional methods using WIMPs have failed, prompting a new proposal to detect massive dark matter particles through gravity. This involves using a billion sensors or levitating spheres to track disturbances caused by dark matter. The approach is likened to gravitational wave detection, leveraging advances in technology and manufacturing. Despite challenges, the proposal offers a promising start in understanding dark matter.

What are WIMPs and why are they significant in the search for dark matter?

How does the search for dark matter relate to the detection of gravitational waves?
