By fitting a theoretical model of the composition of the
Universe to the combined set of cosmological observations,
scientists have come up with the composition that we
described above, ~70% dark energy, ~25% dark matter, ~5%
normal matter. What is dark matter?
From the same page:
What Is Dark Energy?
More is unknown than is known. We know how much dark energy there is
because we know how it affects the Universe's expansion. Other than
that, it is a complete mystery. But it is an important mystery. It
turns out that roughly 70% of the Universe is dark energy. Dark matter
makes up about 25%. The rest - everything on Earth, everything ever
observed with all of our instruments, all normal matter - adds up to
less than 5% of the Universe. Come to think of it, maybe it shouldn't
be called "normal" matter at all, since it is such a small fraction of
the Universe.
As the writer correctly states, it depends of the POV what you call
"normal".
As I understand it, the fact that we do exist in this form is actually
the exception on the rule!
About 15 years ago I've come to the conclusion that EVERYTHING that
exists (including black holes), no matter in what state/condition it is,
is actually energy in some kind of form, which is able to transform in
several appearances. So said, this means that any kind of matter is
equivalent to any kind of energy and vice versa.
The thing that all these appearances have in common is the fact that
they all work via a transformation-mechanism, which works with
vibrations, but I guess that is also what Albert Einstein more or less
meant when he made the following not commonly understood comment.
"Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter
is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to
the senses. There is no matter." - Albert Einstein
