The whole notion of searching for “dark matter” and “dark energy” when we don’t have a proper theory of physics for the matter we know is quite preposterous.
Until someone comes up with a proper quantum theory of gravity (that couples correctly to something that at energies we’ve observed looks more or less like the standard model of particle physics somehow extended to account for neutrino oscillations) we don’t really know that “dark matter” or “dark energy” is needed to account for the anomalous large-scale observations. The quantum corrections to general relativity might take care of all the problems with just the matter we all know and love.
Now that is a paradox if I’ve ever heard one. LOL!
Someone here once postulated that it is not matter at all — but a form of energy.
Geesh. What to the ‘screamers’ make of the “Venus of Willendorf”?
“Dark matter is apparently darker than we thought, darker even than the black stuff between elephants’ toes.”
That’s going to short-dick every cannibal astrophysicist in the Congo.

#DarkMatterMatters
dem is racis words
Dark matter was created when the delta ray radiation of Unobtanium, or possibly Kryptonite, bombarded the flatulence of ancient giant space squids.
Its part of string theory.
So either the universe is full of dark matter that no one can detect or their theories are a load of crap.
...
We can detect it, just not directly with electromagnetism.
It’s so dark, it’s like, how much more dark could it be? The answer is none. None more dark.
Positively charged electrons, negatively charged protons, same old neutrons, sort of.
You read it here first. 200 years from now, when they finally figure this out, Apple-Google World Empire Inc., owner of Planet Earth, will make us all famous.

The antics that these turkeys go through to avoid the obvious fact that the universe is bounded and finite would be more appropriate for a vaudeville act.

By Jove, I think he’s got it!

Cool.
I want to come back as some kind of computer avatar or something and hang out with the future people.

What about Gay matter, huh?
Gay particles are matter!

Size
The proper distance the distance as would be measured at a specific time, including the present between Earth and the edge of the observable universe is 46 billion light-years (14×109 pc), making the diameter of the observable universe about 91 billion light-years (28×109 pc)

Do dark matters matter?
