Worth repeating!

Well, there’s protons, electrons and neutrons making up Normal matter.
Normal matter is supposed to be a smaller part of all stuff according to some of these scientist.
Dark matter, is in abundance everywhere it seems, per some of those same scientist. Kinda like Stupidity.
Maybe the dominant particle of dark matter is morons ... it would explain a lot.
I guess what the article is asking, does Dark Matter matter?
"Scientist reckon".
Maybe scientists reckon wrong.
If dark matter exists why isnt my lawn covered with it?
L
There are folks who have argued, convincingly, that there could be a large density of small mass black holes that could account for the missing mass.

Because we found some stuff we didn’t know what it was so we called it Dark Matter - we called it Dark Matter because it exists, it exists because we called it Dark Matter - QED.....
Dark matter is matter that travels faster than the speed of light.
Your welcome.
dark mater is the failure of a mathematical equation that theoretical physics use to prove mathematically they can figure the rules governing the universe.
Basically the math does not ad up unless the Mathematicians substitute some numbers that says there is more mass to the universe then is predicted in another mathematical model so this mas is called dark mater because we currently cant detect it .
For me it is quite comforting that we don’t have everything figured out... who wants to live in a world with out mystery and wonder... Who wants to live in a world where all is explained.

Most of the mass is the result of an interaction and not of the particles themselves. Hence the term “dark matter”. It is misleading as it is not matter at all but a way of quantifying how matter interacts in the universe and so far it has not been detected
Maybe the theories and equations are wrong, and theres no dark matter.
Very interesting post. To me, it’s all even more unexplained. The idea that there isn’t enough visible matter in the universe to explain what we observe is based upon the assumption that those very fundamental principles that we observe and believe (e.g. that mass attracts mass, like charges repel, opposite charges attract, etc.) are operative everywhere. Are they? We don’t even understand how or why mass attracts mass. We developed atomic weapons based upon release of ‘strong forces’ that we know exist, but the nature of which we don’t understand. We are, at this point in human history, only a few steps into a billion mile journey trying to learn how God works.
Answer. We donk know that dark matter or energy exist. Our formulae dont work for all things.that doesnt give anyone the right to say something exists. P.S....that sounds like the “god of the gaps”....or in this case...”the maybe of the gaps”
.make new discoveries....stop trying to calculate reality with so few facts....like a blind man doing brain surgery..
Dark matter is not DARK matter.
It is the same matter that we see and touch and measure and smell and hear.
However, there is DARK matter as it exists in a different time plane, and that time plane is in the past, where all matter that ever existed (which still exists today), exists in the past, and it’s the matter of the past that is “interacting” with the present, and which scientists still have no way of measuring, and may never be able to do, since, that matter exists in all instances of the past. With more passage of time, the influence of dark matter will increase, and matter that we see in the current instance of time, will become and even smaller slice of the “space/time/matter/energy” continuum.
So, there is your answer. Simple, but complicated.
BTW, there is but one universe, and it’s comprised of matter and energy, which exist in the present and in the past. It’s the past that is being pesky with our cosmologists, and humans in general.
Does dark matter matter?
“How Do We Know Dark Matter Really Exists?”
Turn off the light and step on your kid’s toy with your bare foot. Yep. It exists.
It’s all well and good to call it something. To fill in the gaps of human understanding at this time.
People who believe in God, know that He holds it all together. We may learn more about how God does it in the future. Until then. Dark matter.
If these “particles” are what’s needed to make the math work, then there is something to them (no pun intended).
It may not be a single particle, but a group of them that congregate together. The number are what they are and if the behavior is predictable then they are not fudge factors.
