What is Dark Energy and Dark Matter?
Dark Matter and Dark Energy are interesting topics to say the least. Since they both don't emit, reflect, or absorb light, they cannot be seen.
However before getting into the details, understand that Dark Matter is an attractive force that holds the universe together (acting as gravity almost) while Dark Energy is a repulsive force that is causing the universe to expand at a rate faster than light (anti-gravity).
In addition to that, Dark Energy makes up 68% of the universe and Dark Matter makes up 27%. The remaining 5% is the mass that we can interact with.
Our universe truly is puzzling

Dark Matter Of The Universe
Dark Matter is a bizarre, unknown ingredient of the universe, which scientists cannot observe directly, but takes up 80 percent of the mass of the universe.
It is not seen by the naked eye as it does not emit light or energy. There are entire galaxies (like Dragonfly 44) that are made up e...
Dark Matter Vs Dark Energy
Apart from dark matter, the universe is full of energy, most of which is dark energy.
New data shows that the universe is not running out of energy like previous theories claimed, but is actually expanding at an accelerated rate.
Proof That Dark Matter Exists
The way massive objects of the universe bend and distort gravity and light indicates to scientists about the existence of dark matter. The way large objects move about in the universe (velocity) also is a factor pushing towards the probability of much more mass than is visible.
