Dark matter is an invisible form of matter that makes up about 27% of the universe's total mass-energy content. It doesn't emit, absorb, or reflect light, but its gravitational effects are observed in galaxy rotations, cosmic structures, and light bending. Scientists believe it consists of undiscovered particles or primordial black holes, though some propose modified gravity theories instead.
