Is Dark Matter Made of Particles?

The video explores the mysterious nature of dark matter, which constitutes most of the universe's mass but remains undetectable by conventional means. It discusses the Standard Model of particle physics, highlighting the forces and interactions that govern visible matter. The video delves into the properties of dark matter, emphasizing its gravitational influence and lack of interaction with light. Various candidates for dark matter particles, such as sterile neutrinos and axions, are examined. The concept of supersymmetry and WIMPs (weakly interacting massive particles) is introduced as potential explanations for dark matter. The video concludes by speculating on the complexity of the dark sector and the need for future experiments to uncover its secrets.
