The Universe consists of two primary components: normal matter, which accounts for about 5% of the total energy, and dark matter and dark energy, which together make up the remaining 95%. While normal matter includes familiar particles and celestial bodies, dark energy (68%) and dark matter (27%) are crucial for understanding cosmic expansion and gravity. Despite their significance, both dark components have only been detected indirectly, prompting ongoing investigation and questions regarding hidden matter that could explain gaps in our understanding of the Universe's structure.
Normal matter constitutes only about 5% of the Universe, with dark energy and dark matter comprising the vast majority, leading to questions about their indirect detection.
Dark energy, which currently dominates the Universe's energy composition, is believed to drive its expansion, while dark matter clumps and influences gravitational sectors.
