“Dark Energy” & “Dark Matter” (The Invisible Universe)… The Greatest Mystery of All…
Posted on Jan 18th, 2016
Dark energy has been accepted as the most likely theory to explain why the Universe is constantly and consistently expanding. If we are to assume that this conventional theory is correct and the scientist are right, the best current measurements and estimates propose that dark energy actually makes up roughly 70% of the total energy in the observable Universe. In other words, most of the Universe is invisible to us or, perhaps it would be more accurate to say, we are blind to it.
This, of course, is just scratching the surface, if you would like to know more about what scientists THINK they know, check out the video below;
“Dark matter”, like dark energy, is largely a mystery but is said to be a kind of matter that cannot actually be seen with telescopes but accounts for most of the matter in the Universe. Dark matter has not been detected directly, making it one of the greatest mysteries in modern astrophysics that continues to escape even the greatest minds in the scientific community.

- what is dark matter and dark energy?
- Universe Explorers
The visible Universe which includes Earth, the sun, stars, galaxies and basically all of what we can see, is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons, which we could call ordinary matter. One of the most extraordinary and mind blowing discoveries in history, which happened in the 20th century, was that this “ordinary matter” actually only makes up less than 5 percent of the Universe! The rest, is still very much a mystery and made up of an invisible substance called dark matter, which accounts for 25% of the known Universe, and a force that repels gravity known as dark energy, which accounts for 70%.
“Dark energy” is an unknown form of energy which scientists claim permeates all of space and serves to invariably accelerate the expansion of the Universe. This however, is theoretical and dark energy still very much remains a mystery.Dark energy has been accepted as the most likely theory to explain why the Universe is constantly and consistently expanding.
