    This is a postulation not a discovery.

    Someone did a weird math thingy that gave a word result and this was how they tried to explain it. There’s been zero confirmation this is actually the case. Just like they can’t decide if dark energy/matter is a thing.

      Dark Matter/Energy is just a placeholder for stuff we can detect or see influencing things we can detect but have no friggin idea what it is yet. It could be many different things all at once; or nothing and we just got some other things about what we observe wrong. It’s just a symptom of taking what we know from observing the universe and reconciling it with what we know about math, and trying to make a mathematical model that recreates the universe as we have observed it.
