And we may be a few steps closer to understanding all the matter we haven't yet discovered, and have therefore labeled "dark."Actually, it's called "dark" matter because it does not interact with electromagnetic fields (like light). Our preception of the universe is primarily through electromagnetic radiation or the effects of electronic interactions (touch) and, ultimately, sound. (Sound is only explainable in terms of electronic properties of matter.) Neutrinos were originally "discovered" in the negative: to account for the missing mass/energy and momentum in subatomic particle interactions. "Dark" matter was never any more mysterious than positing particles that behaved in some ways like neutrinos, but weren't like neutrinos, at least like the ones we know about. (Dark matter was "discovered" in an attempt to account for gravitational effects not explainable by the observed mass in the universe, i.e., discovered in the negative.)

Does it matter? Jessie and Al got upset over the Black Holes in space! Won’t they see something evil in the word “Dark Matter”?
IMHO, nothing is the matter. It's all in their collective empty heads.
