The way you describe dark matter makes it sound like its impossible to prove it exists, and to say that there is dark matter in your baggie assumes that it is evenly dispersed throughout the universe. So then I must ask, how do you know?

[tdarnell]

We think dark matter exists by looking at the effects it has on ordinary matter we CAN see. The only thing we know about this stuff is that it has gravity. We can see it's affects on surround gas, dust and stars in galaxies.

For more info, google "nasa dark matter" and click on the first link. Good intro there.

@Jbinkley79 I was wondering that too. [insert google search] Dark energy is 70%. And of course, this is the type of answer that just raises more questions.

[Jbinkley79]

So what's the other 70%?
