And that amount, from galactic dynamics, could be at least ten times as much as the visible matter.
There is not enough visible matter to halt the observe expansion of the universe.
The results seem to support the theory that both visible and dark matter are clumped into "web like" structures.
Other observations have indicated there is about 20 times more dark matter than visible matter between galaxies.
Let them take which side they please, they will certainly find it inconsistent with visible matter of fact and daily observation.
Plasma is the most common form of visible matter in the universe.
For example, the spin of galaxies was nothing like how the visible matter would suggest it should.
The observations should enable astronomers to follow the evolution of the dark and visible matter.
The visible matter we see collects inside this scaffolding in the form of stars and galaxies.
However, most astronomers believe that visible matter makes up only a small fraction of the mass of the universe.
