Dark energy makes up about 73% of the total mass and energy while dark matter makes up 23%.
Why I wonder, did I read many times over that dark matter is dominate. Hmmm...either way, I learned something today, so thanks. :-)
Edited to add, I just noticed your quote, I was on my phone and couldn't see it. On my laptop now, and yes...the numbers I found were slightly higher, but the ratio is the same. So, again, yes...thanks for the clarfication.
The larger numbers you found were likely estimates from WMAP. The Planck figures are thought to be more accurate. Either way, as you noted, the ratio is roughly the same.
