Conclusion

To conclude:

Dark Matter is an attractive force that holds matter together while Dark Energy is a repulsive force that pushes matter outwards.

They both are very difficult to detect because they don’t emit, absorb, or reflect light at all. 

Despite this, they are still very widely researched. Scientists we able to uncover that the universe is expanding exponentially instead of linearly due to the abundance of Dark Energy.

Overall, Dark Matter and Dark Energy are some of the most interesting occurrences in our universe, and we still have much to learn about them.
