“First and perhaps most perplexingly, researchers remain unsure about what exactly dark matter is. Originally, some scientists conjectured that the missing mass in the universe was made up of small faint stars and black holes, though detailed observations have not turned up nearly enough such objects to account for dark matter’s influence…“

As seemingly advanced as modern physics and astronomy have become, it is somewhat astounding that we are still so dumbfounded by all this. There is very little understanding of what dark matter actually is. Physics PROVES that there’s something out there other than normal matter. It has been calculated that dark matter makes up 85% of the universe. Mass and observed gravitational effects PROVE that something co-exists with normal baryonic matter. Physicists are convinced that something has to be there; but we still don’t have a clue as to its nature or how-to detect it.
Wow… if this doesn’t humble our vaunted and esteemed opinion of our place in the universe, I don’t know what might.
I’m left wondering => if we are ultimately getting stumped at the macro level, I suspect we are also somewhat clueless as we plumb the depths of the micro world, as well.
Imagine God’s grasp of all things though – at both ends(?) of the spectrum and in-between. How infinitely wise and knowledgeable He has got to be. It’s just staggering trying to (intellectually) imagine even the outer perimeters of such a sentience.
It might be easy to declare that God is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent… just don’t try wrapping your mind around that one too closely though. God not only understands things at the extreme, He maintains real-time simultaneous cognizance of all things going on – at all points in time, and even before creation began?! “Shock and awe” doesn’t do justice to what I am so inadequately trying to describe.
The below link is a fairly understandable discussion about the conundrum of dark matter.
