So if we are finding 'missing mass' then this is in addition to the 5% already known. So for the mosre mass we find, the less the percentage of 'dark' - no?
That's why I wrote before that they'll have to revise their numbers a bit to account for the new material. It's not going to make a big difference, nor will it substantially change the theory but it will mean more of the ordinary stuff is hanging around.
