It's more like a mathematical outlier that scientists use to reconcile what really seems to make sense with what we see. I think most physicists were skeptical of it. It's really just matter that doesn't emit light. Makes sense on paper. My eyes start to cross when they get into dark energy. I've always been skeptical of it. But I'm an artist, not a scientist. You can tell me something makes the math work. That doesn't mean I understand what the fuck that means
