    85% of all gravity in the Cosmos is of utterly unknown origin. Should call it Dark Force but we instead call it Dark Matter.

        @neiltyson sometimes I wonder if these tweets are just things you say aloud randomly throughout the day.

        You can blame LucasArts' lawyers for that one. RT @neiltyson Should call it Dark Force but we instead call it Dark Matter.

        @neiltyson for obvious reasons, George Lucas might have legal rights anytime Dark Force is used, but I concur

        @neiltyson why do physicists go after dark energy/matter more than a modified theory of gravity?

        @neiltyson I think changing the "Dark" part has a higher priority than changing "Matter".

        @neiltyson I’m unconvinced (as a layman) that no assumptions have been made asserting that matter is its origin.
