Dark energy and dark matter are two placeholders for mysterious forces and substances that expand our universe and make up the majority of its matter, respectively. In a new theory, one physicist says that defects in spacetime explain both of these mysteries at the same time. In this episode of science news I have a look at this paper. This video comes with a quiz which you can take here: https://quizwithit.com/start_thequiz/1748971420417x503138930832703500 Correction: I mixed up the gems, sorry. I should have said, defects change the colour of sapphires to red and green, not diamonds. πŸ€“ Check out my new quiz app ➜ http://quizwithit.com/ πŸ’Œ Support me on Donorbox ➜ https://donorbox.org/swtg πŸ“ Transcripts and written news on Substack ➜ https://sciencewtg.substack.com/ πŸ‘‰ Transcript with links to references on Patreon ➜ https://www.patreon.com/Sabine πŸ“© Free weekly science newsletter ➜ https://sabinehossenfelder.com/newsletter/ πŸ‘‚ Audio only podcast ➜ https://open.spotify.com/show/0MkNfXlKnMPEUMEeKQYmYC πŸ”— Join this channel to get access to perks ➜ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1yNl2E66ZzKApQdRuTQ4tw/join πŸ–ΌοΈ On instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/sciencewtg/ #science #sciencenews #physics #spacetime
