I've been wanting to learn about Dark Matter. Have we found it yet? Have we even obtained some? My friend once told me a couple of weeks ago that scientists have, over the last seven years, gained around... oh say a square inch of it. Is that even true? Thanks for your responces!

The prevailing scientific opinion is that it probably exists, and helps explain certain cosmological phenomena. Since it can be 'detected' (inferred) only by its gravitational influence, it's your choice whether it meets your criteria for 'found' and 'obtained'. It's considered the best hypothesis we have, but many scientists are hoping for a different, more satisfying one.

Your friend is sadly mistaken.
The best primers in scientific matters are often issues of Scientific American. Find them at your local library.
