interesting science report: that actually the world we know, as it is perceived by our limited senses and even by their still limited extensions (as telescopes, etc - all the sophisticated modern HI-Tech) comprises only .... 10-20 percent of the matter in the universe!

"Dark matter" is real, scientists say

BOSTON (Reuters) - A team of U.S. scientists has found the first direct evidence of the existence of "dark matter," a little-understood substance with a huge influence on gravity, the team's leader said on Tuesday.

Scientists still do not know what exactly dark matter is, but have theorized it must exist to account for the amount of gravity needed to hold the universe together.

They estimate that the substance accounts for 80 to 90 percent of the matter in the universe { }. The more familiar kind of matter, which can be seen and felt, makes up the rest ...

"This is the first time we've been able to show that (dark matter) has to be out there, that you can't explain it away," Clowe told Reuters. "We haven't actually been able to see the dark matter particles themselves, but what we have been able to do is ... image the gravity that they're generating."

well, one thing is sure - there are a lot of more things in universe which do exist yet can't be "explained away" !

unless of course scientists achive the solutions by .... VOTE

Yeah, more than 2500 years ago the Buddha taught that the world is really alot different than we think......it has only been relatively recently (about 100 years) that science has come to the same conclusion by coming up with dark matter, black holes, relativity theory, quantum theory, etc.
