Dark Matter

I'm a few minutes and more than a few drinks into watching a documentary on dark matter.

At the moment (and I'm only part way in, so take this with a grain of salt) it seems as though the theory of dark matter originated simply from our discrepancies in knowledge about the nature of gravity in general. Just my thoughts so far.

What causes gravity?

Matter.

Why?

Dunno.

Is it polarity or electromagnetics?

Nope, not that shit, though we dunno why.

What about displacement of space?

Not sure, really. Check back in a few decades.
But anything weird it causes, we'll account for with this "dark matter" thing we got, and then we'll get back to you.
