uh, here goes knee jerk Karl... it's actually 99 % and really it's worse
than that; over the last couple of years results have led physicists to
think that roughly 70 % of that 99 % is stuff that's hard to even
characterize (i.e. "vacuum energy" rather than just good old unseen
matter)
that said, I can't resist chiding Zack for what seems to me a non
sequitur; bore acoustics seems a wee bit more empirical than cosmology.
