We show that time dependent gravitational potential can be directly detected from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies. The signature can be measured by cross-correlating the CMB with the projected density field reconstructed from the weak lensing distortions of the CMB itself. The cross-correlation gives a signal whenever there is a time dependent gravitational potential. This method traces dark matter directly and has a well defined redshift distribution of the window projecting over the density perturbations, thereby avoiding the problems plaguing other proposed cross-correlations. We show that both MAP and Planck will be able to probe this effect for observationally relevant curvature and cosmological constant models, which will provide additional constraints on the cosmological parameters.
