From them the God created everything.
But nobody knows, what is " virtual particles ","'dark matter'"
what is " latent mass ", " invisible particles ".
And then the physicists are very surprised :
"Why is the nature of the microworld so paradoxical ?"
We use words not understanding their meaning

When we say "dark matter" the words are not arbitrary.

This hypothesized matter is called "matter" because it
has gravitational mass. It is called "dark" because it
isn't radiating energy we can see.
