Reply to comment by Kind-Truck3753 in How to make a model of dark matter and energy? by Poise-on

Based on the theories, im not trying to make it super accurate or anything, i just want to loosely represent it visually in a way i can explain to other people

No😭 English isn’t my first language, and im a high schooler with no science degree or profound science knowledge, im not sure why my question sounds so stupid, please let me know so I can clarify (although im pretty sure now that my question is stupid inherently🥲)

You question isn't stupid but the other person is stuck on the fact it's invisible so you can't see it. Now I think that isn't a problem because you can make an analogy which you can see.

So far dark matter and dark energy are 100% invisible. They are called dark because they are unseen. They are hypothetical. Dark matter is inferred to exist because there is not enough normal matter to explain the gravity effecting some galaxies. Dark energy is inferred because the expansion of the entire universe is accelerating much faster than can otherwise be explained.

Yes, and i wondered if i could represent the functions of it, i know i cant make an invisible model, thank you for this specific info tho! i appreciate it
