The mainstream view among physicists is that dark energy, a phenomenon we cannot directly observe, makes up 68% of the universe. But according to leading theoretical physicist Claudia de Rham the status quo in physics is wrong. Join her as she reveals how great minds, from Newton and Einstein to Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose, led her to radically rethink gravity. The result is a new theory called "massive gravity," that eliminates the need for dark energy altogether.
