Letter: What's the matter with dark stuff?

Published 3 June 2015

From Martin Savage

Âé¶¹´«Ã½ has developed an annoying habit of declaring confidently that “Dark matter makes up 80 per cent of the universe’s matter…” without qualification (for example, 2 May, p 11). I was under the impression that dark matter is a hypothesis in search of confirmation – or did I miss the part where it was discovered and explained?
