Numerous researchers believe that 95 per cent of the mass of the universe is invisible, made up of 50 per cent vacuum and 45 per cent dark matter.
There's a puzzler for you. In what sense can a vacuum be considered mass?

14 billion? Sounds as though this pic just broke the old record by a nose:

Numerous researchers believe that 95 per cent of the mass of the universe is invisible, made up of 50 per cent vacuum vacuum = a space empty of matter
How can 95% of the mass of the universe consist of 50% space empty of matter?
Must be products of government schools.

Moved from news to chat? Huh?
To: jimkress
I think they mean the universe is 50% vacuum, 45% dark matter and 5% matter they can find.

I've decided it's just sloppy writing. What he meant to say is "95 per cent of the mass of the universe is invisible, made up of 50 per cent vacuum and 45 per cent dark matter."

I don't think I believe all this Big Bang stuff. I don't think the universe is only 14 billion years old. We don't even have words to explain what "light" really is. We are just on the first baby-step of a big knowledge adventure. parsy.

Or he could have meant to say "95 per cent of the mass of the universe is invisible, made up of 50 per cent vacuum and 45 per cent dark matter.

When you're a moderator with nothing to moderate, you have to keep busy somehow.

In what sense can a vacuum be considered mass? You look at this (below) and tell me that it doesn't have mass...

BTW, what on FR isn't chat?

I think I'm having a flashback.

They have at least 10% of the matter accounted for, so the 5% matter/45%dark are good rough numbers. The rest is vacuum, which is an important part of the universe. Each cm3 of vacuum contains more energy than the entire other 1/2 of the universe. The interaction of a photon with the vacuum is what limits light ot a speed of 3*108 m/sec

What kind of energy, and what is the source of that energy?
