Could someone just explain to me the actual premise of "dark matter"? I merely thought it was "hidden" matter, used to account for inadequacies in gravitiational calculations.
I've always thought of the Universe as like the Koch Line. An infinite line surrounding a finite area. The universe itself may be expanding, and anything that the universe emcompasses may be classifyed as "existance", but I'm puzzled by the fact of what the universe is expanding into in relation to there being no relative "existance" outside of the universe. Thus, I would tend to believe that it has acutal boundaries, but the potential for expansion or contraction is still there. But exactly how it expands and what it expands into really confuses me. Please correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm pretty stupid when it comes to this stuff...
