Huh.
Alex can get into more details as he's an actual physicist, but I thought I recalled that visible matter was actually the anomaly.

This appears to be case. WMAP suggests that 4.6% of the mass/energy of the visible universe is baryonic matter (in layman's terms, ordinary matter capable of being directly observed). Of that 4.6%, only 10% is found within galaxies. We can only infer the existence of the overwhelming majority of the mass/energy of the universe.
