The Hidden 95 Percent of the Universe

Adapted from a Facebook reflection by Maina P Kiromo.

If we put together everything that we can see, touch, feel, smell or interact with in our universe, it would only occupy a tiny 5 percent of our universe.

95 percent of our universe is made of stuff that we can't see or touch. We don't know what this stuff is, but we know it does exist because of it's effects.

Those who have attempted to study this stuff say it is called dark matter and dark energy. They call it dark because they themselves are in the dark on this matter and energy.

It's fascinating because our Universe is know to have trillions of galaxies and each galaxy has billions of Stars and each star is believed to have planets orbiting it. Yet all this is just 5 percent.

95% is hidden from us although we know with certainty that there is something in all that darkness
