๐ Dark Matter: 85% of the Universe Is Missing and We’re Just Smiling Through It
Okay, so here’s the situation:
We can only see about 5% of the universe.
Stars, planets, you, me, iced coffee — that’s the tiny visible slice.
The other 85%?
✨ Unseen. Unknown. Unbothered. ✨
Just floating around, running the show.
It’s called dark matter — and yes, it’s real.
And yes, it’s completely ghosting us.
Welcome to the mystery of dark matter — the invisible, untouchable substance that makes up the vast majority of the universe.
We’ve never seen it. We don’t know what it’s made of.
But we’re 100% sure it’s there. (Because physics is being shady.)
๐งฉ Wait… What Even Is Dark Matter?
Imagine the universe is a giant puzzle.
We’ve got stars, planets, gas clouds — all the glowing, visible stuff. That’s 5%.
And scientists were like:
“There’s gotta be something we’re not seeing.”
Science shrugs nervously in physics.
So they called it dark matter — because “we literally have no idea” wasn’t peer-reviewed enough.
So yeah.
85% of all matter in the universe is just… missing.
Unseen. Unnamed. Unbothered.
Like the ghost of space is holding everything together behind the scenes.
๐ ๐ง “Trust me, bro” — The Science
This is where things get spooky.
When scientists look at galaxies, the math doesn’t add up.
Stars spin way faster than they should — like, “you should’ve flown apart by now” faster.
But they don’t.
Something invisible is holding them in place.
That something is dark matter.
We can’t see it directly, but we can see what it does — it bends light, affects gravity, and shows up like the universe’s silent partner.
It’s basically the cosmic equivalent of:
“I won’t show my face, but I’m running the whole operation.”
๐ถ๐ซ️ Why Haven’t We Found It Yet?
We’ve tried. A lot.
There are entire labs underground, shielded from radiation, with ultra-sensitive detectors just hoping that maybe, maybe a dark matter particle will bump into something.
So far? Nothing.
It’s like trying to catch a ghost with a butterfly net.
Except the ghost might not even be made of the stuff we understand as “stuff.”
๐The Universe Is Giving: Mysterious Introvert Energy
Dark matter is:
-
The coworker who never comes to meetings but gets all the work done
-
The quiet kid in space class who secretly holds the entire galaxy together
-
The reason we exist, and also the reason we’re confused
✨ Why It Matters (Even If You’ll Never See It)
Dark matter is proof that what we see isn’t all there is.
That the most important forces — in space and in life — might be invisible.
It’s humbling.
It’s annoying.
It’s beautiful.
We live in a universe built mostly from mystery.
And somehow… we’re still here.
Existing. Wondering. Smiling through it.
๐ช Final Thought
So the next time you feel like you don’t have all the answers,
or you can’t explain the why of something,
or you feel small in the grand scheme of it all —
just remember:
Even the universe is mostly made of things it can’t explain.
And that’s not failure.
That’s just what reality looks like when it’s still becoming.
And we’re just out here like:
“lol cool, anyway what time’s the group chat?”
But honestly?
If the universe can be mostly mystery and still function,
so can we.
