annoying narration or the most annoying narration. This may be a smart man, but the person who chose him to narrate is not. His delivery actually makes me ill. I don't know this man and I'm sure he is a nice guy, but please take him off these videos, I'm really nauseous listening to his vocal tone.

could dark matter, as we can observe it, serve as similar to the shadow of an adjoining dimension? perhaps we're a bubble within a bubble?

Very strange contradiction
1
In one hand :
The particles in the Universe are more then antiparticles
/ Baryon asymmetry /
2.
In the other hand:
Dark matter and dark energy in the Universe are more

Question :
Does one hand physical know that
the other hand astrophysical do ?

Well, this is how it works;
Light are bent by gravity, and all matter in space has a mass with gravity.

So, if the light can not hit the dark matter
and the dark matter can not absorb it, then
the light goes around it. Like the aerodynamics of airplane wings.

The light reached us 2 billion years ago, and has we see it today, this cluster is 5 billion light years away from us.

We actually see this cluster in the past because the light take 5 billion years to get to us. Insted of saying that this cluster is 7 billion years old and that we see it has if it was 2 billion years old, they just say it's 5 billions light years away from us and that it occured (from our point of view) 2 billion years old ago.
