Dark matter
Please also see the hidden editor note in the wikitext: Before changing percentages, please note that 85% here refers to that of matter /excluding/ dark energy: (Dark matter 26.8%, Dark energy 68.3%, Ordinary matter 4.9%, Total 95.1% is Dark matter & Dark energy) Schazjmd   (talk)  22:19, 12 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the explanation.  I did see the comment and was confused by it so I have 2 other authors read it (before my edit)  and see if it made any sense to them.  Same confusion for them.    And we are all still confused.   I am assuming I am wrong here, but would at like to fully understand this since reference to this article have caused some confusion.  So what math gives us 85% here?

 * Probably be best to raise the question on Talk:Dark matter. The source says dark energy is 68% of the universe; that means 32% of the universe is matter (dark and ordinary). How the editor who added the text/note calculated that dark matter is 85% of the 32% that is all matter, I'm not sure. Previous discussions on the talk page for the same question: Talk:Dark_matter/Archive_7; Talk:Dark_matter/Archive_8. Schazjmd   (talk)  22:42, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
