Isn't it something like 5% normal matter, 30% dark matter, and the rest dark energy?

Just a year ago a study was claiming dark energy may not exist at all.

If we knew it wouldn't be a mystery, now wouldn't it?
It's the simulation - we can't figure out beyond the "code" because we are the code, it's impossible.

"We're in a simulation" is easily the most annoying new religion
