| 0:00.0 | Hi, you're about to get smarter in just a few minutes with Curiosity Daily from Curiosity.com. |
| 0:06.5 | I'm Cody Gough. |
| 0:07.5 | And I'm Ashley Hamer. |
| 0:08.5 | Today you learn about the benefits of Laughter Yoga, |
| 0:11.3 | with the founder of the Laughter Club movement, Dr. |
| 0:13.9 | Modun Kataria. But first you'll learn about a major breakthrough in the way |

| 0:26.0 | Astrophysicists have made a huge leap forward in the study of dark matter. A small team of researchers |
| 0:34.9 | working in Australia have figured out a new way to detect the stuff with 10 times |
| 0:39.6 | the precision offered by the next best method. |
| 0:43.0 | There's a ton of dark matter out there. |
| 0:45.5 | It actually outweighs normal matter |
| 0:47.4 | by about 6 to 1. |

| 1:08.1 | That means that researchers can indirectly observe that which can't be seen by using telescopes, astrophysical |
