- garmaine 5y agoThis is incorrect.
- wing-_-nuts 5y agoExpand please? I read a book that also proposed this. If science has moved on I'd like rto know.
- garmaine 5y agoIt is conflating dark matter with dark energy, and counting them both together.
- lgl 5y agoIt's pretty close. Only 5% of all matter is "regular" matter, and ~27% is dark matter which makes it be 85% of all mass but not of mass-energy since there is ~68% of dark energy. It's the combination of dark matter + dark energy that makes for ~95% of the universe's total mass-energy.
