What this episode covers

Live! from the York Festival of Ideas online programme, a zoomtastic chat about dark matter — the strange, unknown stuff that comprises only, what, 80% or more of the matter in the universe. What is it? Why is it? How is it? Emily gives the lowdown on one of astronomy's more embarrassing problems, before we welcome guests Mikhail Bashkanov and Dan Watts, physicists at the University of York who have found something veeeery interesting. It's an exotic particle — a hexaquark, to be exact — that just might solve this cosmic mystery.
