Astronomers have compiled evidence that what we’ve always thought of as the actual universe—me, you, this magazine, planets, stars, galaxies, all the matter in space—represents a mere 4 percent of what’s actually out there. The rest they call, for want of a better word, dark: 23 percent is something they call dark matter, and 73 percent is something even more mysterious, which they call dark energy.
from “Dark Energy: The Biggest Mystery in the Universe” by Richard Panek, an article I read this afternoon, which continued to blow my mind for the rest of the day.
