Those two comprise 96 % of the entire universe. Everything our physics understands only applies to 4% of the universe. It is kind of frustrating to say the least. What is this stuff? Will we ever figure it out in our lifetimes?

From what I know (and I'm no physicist), dark matter is instrumental in how we understand the idea that the universe expands, almost as if dark matter causes this stretching that is observed by astronomers and scientists. Again, I don't know very much about it, but this is how I understand it.

I could be totally wrong. If anyone knows please let me know lol

We don't even know what we don't know.

It's amazing how clueless we are about all things around us, under us, and in us. Let alone space and all that entails.

It's pretty cool to speculate though. And we'll never run out of things to speculate on, that's for sure.

Obviously I have no idea what it's is, but I wouldn't be shocked if the ultimate explanation is our models and/or observations were a bit off, and dark matter is as real as the ether was.

Listened to a Joe Rogan podcast recently with NDT and he explained it as actually not necessarily "matter" at all. They don't know what it is or could be. The only reason they know it's there is because the gravity around it. He said a more accurate name for it would be dark gravity, bc at least they know that's there.

How is this found out and proven? Seems like made up bullshite that someone had hidden behind numbers and everyone who doesn't "understand" acts like its genius because they don't want to be the only one in the science community to not understand the "theory" or "formula".

I think it's insane that 96% of all the matter in all of existence would completely obliterate existence if it came into contact with the other 4. Really makes you wonder where the frick it is

Might dark matter actually be primordial black holes?
