Could the double-slit interference be explained if photons can briefly inhabit dark quantum states invisible to detectors? In this episode we connect that quantum idea to the cosmic mystery of dark photons—the hypothetical portal to a vast dark sector—and explore what current experiments and data analyses could mean for physics beyond the Standard Model. We discuss how hidden states might reshape our understanding of light and matter, review the searches underway at colliders and labs around the world, and ponder what a confirmed dark sector would imply about the nature of reality.
