Or he could have meant to say "95 per cent of the mass of the universe is invisible, made up of 50 per cent vacuum and 45 per cent dark matter.

They have at least 10% of the matter accounted for, so the 5% matter/45%dark are good rough numbers. The rest is vacuum, which is an important part of the universe. Each cm3 of vacuum contains more energy than the entire other 1/2 of the universe. The interaction of a photon with the vacuum is what limits light ot a speed of 3*108 m/sec
