Today we revisit a discussion we had a couple of years ago on dark matter. This episode also acts as video evidence that Larry absolutely loved that dog of an app Be Real. We dive into the fascinating world of black holes, dark matter, and the Large Hadron Collider at Europe's Physics Research Center in this best of episode. We discuss the challenges and significance of operating the 27-kilometer-long collider in the hunt for the elusive Higgs boson particle and dark matter, which constitutes 85% of all matter in the universe but remains a mystery. We also debate the importance of scientific exploration, funding, and humanity's drive to understand the building blocks of the universe, all while balancing humor and deep philosophical questions about the future of space exploration and the value of scientific discoveries.
