I have heard somewhere that we don't see 95% of the world, all of it is "dark matter"?

Question

Is that even true? And if it is, what makes up that 95 percent? How can we even prove something like that if we can't actually see it?

Answer 1

That's exactly it. Nobody knows for sure, so to say that we don't see 95%, is to say that "we don't know what we don't know". To me, it sounds more like a figure-of-speech. I've also heard that what we believe to be real and substantial is actually in our minds because we've been told that it exists. Chew on that one!

Answer 2

Actually, it isn't the world, it's the universe. And most of what we don't see isn't dark matter, but dark energy.

It's so baffling to physicists that they haven't even really proved it exists. They just know (as they say on the Science Channel) most of our universe is missing.

Answer 3

Yes, that is the mind's illusion capability !
