That other 74% of what makes up everything in the Universe that we can't even see?
That would, in fact, be dark energy...and Einstein was indeed correct (dark matter accounts for another 22%). Ordinary matter - gas, stars, planets and galaxies - makes up just 4%. That means we're really only really keenly aware of about 4% of the Universe.
Talk about being in the dark... New method 'confirms dark energy'.

Unless you read Douglas Adams: then you find out that it's really made up of all the packing material used to pack all the fancy scientific instruments used to measure what's in the universe when they were new...

1) how can "energy" have mass?
2) why would the "dark" shit outweigh the "non-dark" shit? |

Remember Einstein's theory E=MC(2)? The energy equals the mass times the constant(speed of light) squared? Last edited by fujimoh; 05-20-2011 at 08:55 PM.. |

1) It doesn't
2) That's a very non-dark-centric point of view

Think of it like this (scale helps):
If the Nucleus of an atom were the size of a basketball, the electrons would be orbiting eight miles away. So what's in between? Can't be fucking nothing. Has to be fucking something. That something has to have mass. That something makes up most of what we know as fucking EVERYTHING, and yet we are blissfully unaware of it to the point that we're STILL trying to figure out exactly WTF it even is. We are SO without a fucking clue still.

IIRC, adding the weight of the nucleus and electrons, you still come up short in atomic weight. It's something. We just don't know yet what.
