[QUOTE="Ibix, post: 6600755, member: 365269"] Are you asking why we can't see dark matter? It's because it doesn't interact with electromagnetism. Perhaps it would be better named "transparent matter" because light passes through it - so we can't see it directly. We can only see a slight curving of light paths near large amounts of datk matter due to its gravity, and its gravity's effects on normal matter. [/QUOTE]
