Missing mass in the Universe
The current experimental data, interpreted in the current theoretical
frameworks, require that most of the Universe mass is undetected. Namely, 70%
of the mass is not even matter, but rather Dark Energy. Another 25% is non-barionic Dark Matter, 4% barionic
(ordinary) matter, while the remainder is shared among other particles, like
neutrinos and photons. Particle Astrophysics
Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMP)
Milky Way halo: The local mass density needed to keep the Milky Way bonded is
about one order of magnitude higher than the observed (barionic)
density.
