minus-square@KrudlerlinkEnglish1•edit-210 months agoThe “dark” in dark matter means we can’t see it or detect it, Even though we can “see” the effects of it. While scientists search for what the answer can be, it’s just called dark matter as a placeholder. “Dark matter” is a stupid and misleading name. The fact is we have no idea if it’s even matter.
