      Super question. We don’t know. My supervisor describes this as “quite embarrassing”

      The big debate is related to if dark matter exists or not. If it does, it solves some of the maths we have, but makes other maths go wrong. There’s other possibilities, my favourite being Weak Interacting Matter Particles (WIMPS)
