Dark matter seems like a cheat code to make our study of the Universe work

Or perhaps I need to study it more.

You’ve been watching too much Lex Friedman.

Dark energy is the wildcard.

I thought this was an uknownknight thread.

The math all works when you add dark matter.

Anti-matter and gluons definitely play a role.

One thing physics has demonstrated over and over is that the math always adds up when you're right. We don't know how to define dark matter and our equations might not even be balanced, but there's something else out there that is missing and that is represented by dark matter and dark energy.

Dark matter is simply consumed matter from black holes that now exists in a parallel dimension. We still feel the effects of it but it doesn’t exist in our realm to see.
And yes these edibles are great

Wouldn't that make one question the accuracy of their calculations if they only work if you add what is essentially fairy dust?

Since dark matter is actually gods blessings, it should be called light matter.

We call it Matter of Color now

I saw four quarks just yesterday.

Matter consumed by black holes doesn't go anywhere. We can calculate the mass of a black hole, which is the total of all matter its consumed.

From another site.
Dark Matter Planets, stars, galaxies and everything we can see make up less than 5 percent of the total universe. Scientists think 26.8 percent is a substance they call "dark matter." This matter doesn't interact with light or visible matter, but everything moves to its gravitational tune. According to the European Space Agency (ESA), "although thought to be invisible, neither emitting nor absorbing light, dark matter can be detected through its gravitational influence on the movements and appearance of other objects in the Universe, such as stars or galaxies."
Dark Energy So, what about the other 68 percent of the universe? Cosmologists think it's "dark energy."
If dark matter seems to join galaxies together, dark energy wants to push everything apart. However, no one is quite sure what dark matter or energy are comprised of.
According to the American space agency, "we know how much dark energy there is because we know how it affects the universe's expansion. Other than that, it is a complete mystery. But it is an important mystery."

Well, being in a Dark Forest must be hard mode.

What I also find strange is
Quantum Entanglement Albert Einstein once called quantum entanglement, "spooky action at distance."
It is the phenomenon by which two particles in totally different parts of the universe can be linked to one another, reproducing the behavior of their partner.
For particles to be connected across such distances, they must be sending signals that move faster than the speed of light—something the known rules of physics judges impossible.
Objects are only supposed to be affected by their surroundings, so the notion of a particle being affected by something on the other side of the universe is baffling.
That's above my pay grade.

People have tried to make general relativity work with observations about how gravity isn’t strong enough to explain how galaxies don’t sling themselves apart without using dark matter and so far the results have violated one or more fundamental axioms or have failed against other observations.
