#DarkMatter :
We do not know what it is.
There seems to be huge amounts in the Universe.

There seems to be almost none in the Universe.
We have no idea why not.

@vidyasagar - Isaac Asimov

"When people thought the Earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the Earth was spherical, they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the Earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the Earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together."

Feynman diagrams for the heart.
