Dark Matter - the Ghost in the Machine, with Prof Richard Massey

In this episode, we dive deep into the "invisible scaffolding" of the cosmos with Professor Richard Massey. Richard and his team at Durham University recently made headlines by releasing the highest-resolution map of dark matter ever created, using 255 hours of data from the James Webb Space Telescope. We explore how dark matter acts as the architect of our universe, why it’s more like a "ghost" than a "particle," and how we can "see" something that refuses to reflect, emit, or block light. Whether you're a physics buff or just someone who looks at the stars and wonders why they haven't flown away yet, this conversation will change the way you look at the "empty" space around you.
