Description
Summary:Einstein's Theory of General Relativity is still one of the pillars of modern physics. But 100 years after Einstein's theory, there's something that seems to undermine everything we thought we knew - Dark Energy. This mysterious cosmic force is not only causing our universe to expand, but this expansion is also accelerating. It makes up 70% of the universe. But no one can see it, and there is still great debate over what it actually is. In this film, Horizon celebrates the anniversary of General Relativity - and looks at the latest experiments to try and understand Dark Energy.
