Okay, explain to those of us who are science-challenged: What the heck is dark matter? Stuff that theoretically should be there, but isn't. Cuz they cannot see it, so it must be invisible, or dark.
Whatever.....

Stuff that theoretically should be there, but isn't. Cuz they cannot see it, so it must be invisible, or dark. So, using the term "matter" to describe it is probably not accurate. I imagine that once we get a better understanding of this stuff, it will have no relation to "matter" as we know it.
