In two dimensional honeycomb ferromagnets, bosonic magnon quasiparticles (spin waves) may either behave as massless Dirac fermions or form topologically protected edge states. The key ingredient defining their nature is the next-nearest neighbor Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction that breaks inversion symmetry of lattice and discriminates chirality associated spin-wave excitations. Using inelastic neutron scattering, we find spin waves insulating ferromagnet CrI$_3$ ($T_C=61$ K) have...
