Decades of research have led astronomers to a staggering conclusion: there exists an invisible type of mass that outweighs everything we can see five times over. 

Associate Professor Alan Duffy from Swinburne University's Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing explains how we know so much about the properties of a particle we have yet to discover, and how Australia is playing a leading role in uncovering the nature of this mysterious dark matter with SABRE, the southern hemisphere's first dark matter detector at the bottom of a gold mine in Stawell, Victoria.

Produced by the Royal Society of Victoria. Filmed and edited by Robert Cross. Interview by Mike Flattley.
