The universe as we understand it—every atom, star, and galaxy—is only 5% of the total universe, with the remaining 95% consisting of dark matter and dark energy, which we can only infer exist because without them, the mathematical calculations of the universe don't add up. According to the current leading theory, our entire universe is just one bubble in an infinite foam of other universes, each potentially governed by different physical laws.

The Universe As We Know It Is 5% Of The UniverseAdded:
Every atom and everything that has ever existed, mapped, measured, we know exactly what's out there, is 5% of the universe.
The other 95%?
We call it dark matter and dark energy because we needed to call it something.
Can't see it, can't touch it, can't detect it directly.
We only know it exists because without it, none of the math adds up.
The universe as we understand it is 5% of the universe.
The current leading theory?
Our entire universe, everything we just talked about, is one bubble in an infinite foam of others, each with different laws of physics, somewhere atoms can't form, somewhere nothing exists at all that we will never reach.
We've said that before.
