That is what cosmology teaches us, dark matter, dark energy everything cosmological depends on unfound science?

Dark matter is a type of matter that does not interact with light, making it invisible to telescopes and other instruments used to detect traditional matter. Its existence is inferred through its gravitational effects on visible matter in the universe.
Dark matter is different from regular matter in several ways. It does not emit or absorb light, it does not interact with electromagnetic forces, and it does not form atoms or molecules. It is also much more abundant in the universe, making up about 85% of the total matter in the universe.
Dark energy is a mysterious force that is believed to be responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe. Unlike dark matter, it is not a type of matter, but rather a form of energy that permeates all of space and has a repulsive effect on matter.
Scientists study dark matter and dark energy through a variety of methods, including observing the effects of their gravitational pull on visible matter, studying the large-scale structure of the universe, and using mathematical models and simulations. However, because both dark matter and dark energy are invisible and do not interact with light, studying them is extremely challenging.
There are several theories about the nature of dark matter and dark energy, but they are still largely unknown. Some theories propose that dark matter is made up of undiscovered particles, while others suggest that our current understanding of gravity needs to be modified. Similarly, theories about dark energy range from the possibility of a cosmological constant to the existence of a new type of energy field. Further research and observations are needed to determine the true nature of these elusive phenomena.
