A 12-hour popular-science lecture series by physicist Sean Carroll on dark matter and dark energy, covering the observational evidence and the inferences cosmologists draw from it about what the universe is made of.

Commenters describe it as a 12-hour pop-sci lecture series that explains the evidence behind the cosmologists' view, useful for anyone who wants to understand the claims before disputing them.

   You’ve completed a cursory google search and don’t understand why our leading explanations for the observations cosmologists have made say what they say — OK. Sometimes when our opinions counter the narratives of whole scientific fields, it can be helpful to first convince yourself you actually understand what they claim: what is the evidence, and what are the required inferences to arrive at the modern cosmologist view of what the universe is made of.

   Sean Carroll's Great Course on Particle Physics (and his other ones) is a really great introduction.
