dark matter

I was watching a T.V. program about the cosmos.

It seems that for Newton's laws of gravity to work on the galaxy or universe scale there has to be a lot more matter and energy than we can currently account for.

So the idea of dark energy and dark matter has been developed to explain the difference between what we can see and what the laws of gravity need to work on this scale.

The problem with this theory is that no one has been able to find all this new dark energy and matter.

This worried me, so I sat down and wrote this poor excuse of a poem:

The cosmos does not weigh enough

So the wisdom goes

The stars that twinkle in the night

To light, to light

Cry the people here below.

A theory made to fit the scheme

To balance out the din

How many dark energy angels

Can dance on the head of

A dark matter pin.

In this same program it was stated that the laws of gravity do not work in the very small quantum level, so being a dumb farmer this started me thinking that the very small level could be first gear, the solar system scale is the second gear in Newton's gravity laws and third gear at the galaxy level.

It seems to make more sense than a dark matter/ energy theory whose stuff can not be found.
