Hi Mod,

Dark Matter is about 27%. Let me know how one would go about finding something that is invisible.

In the standard Lambda-CDM model of cosmology, the total mass—energy of the universe contains 4.9% ordinary matter and energy, 26.8% dark matter and 68.3% of an unknown form of energy known as dark energy.
Wikipedia uses the 80% Dark Matter number.
Since energy and matter are interchangeable many references to dark matter contain both in one number.
But actually when you add the numbers together you get 95.1% of the universe is an unknown quantity. That should make it much easier to find. But the numbers vary depending on whose figures you use.
Either way they are looking for something that nobody has ever observed, and are without a clue as to what it is. Other than a force that keeps the universe at critical density (holds it together).

Can you plug it into the equations and produce answers that correspond to observations?
Normal matter =4.9% of the critical density in the universe.
Leaving 95.1% of the universe of an unknown, quantity that is invisible, does not absorb light nor emit light and can not be observed.
I know that is probably too simple to satisfy you.
So let me say it another way.
You would say NM+DM+DE=critical density.
I say NM+GE=critical density.
Either of the two could be true or both could be false with another solution. We will not know until the experiment has been completed.

Glory Hallelujah you have finally said something I can agree with 100%. I just hope you really believe what you said.
My God can do anything but fail. And He does have enough of a supply of energy to accomplish any task He desires to complete.
God Bless,
