My wife suddenly became quite excited, and said 'couldnt that matter be the spirit realm' and more or less dared me to prove somehow that it wasn't.
A heated discussion ensued that ended with her being less than convinced that I was right.
Help.
It's 70% Dark energy, 27% Dark matter, and 3% ordinary matter, tho' those figures are subject to change with better technology.
Secondly, Dark energy is why the universe is accelerating. And Dark matter is responsible for holding galaxies together.
Thirdly, they are no more spiritual than my penis is.
