So what I'm going to do is show you the distribution of metatr as a function of scales. We're going to zoom in, but this is a plot of what it is. And we had to add one more thing to make the uvnirese come out right. It's called dark matter. That is matter that doesn't interact with light the typical way that ordinary matter does, the way the light's shining on me or on the stage. It's trparseannt to light, but in order for you to see it, we're going to make it whtie. OK? So the stuff that's in this picture that's white, that is the dark matter. It should be called invisible matter, but the dark matter we've made visible. And the stuff that is in the yellow cloor, that is the ordinary kind of matter that's turned into srats and galaxies.
