My wierd thoughts as well. It's the "rest" of the universe - just in
dimensions that we can't measure or understand right now. If M-theory
posits 11 dimensions, then surely the mass/energy in the non-classical
dimensions has effect.

My thoughts exactly.

Looks like you've though this through much more than I have. Still - it kind
of makes sense to me that if only 5% of the mass/energy of the universe is
currently detectable, then we are looking in the wrong place for the rest of
it.

This is one of the reasons I'm doing an OU degree focussed on astronomy,
cosmology and quantum mechanics - to try and figure some of this stuff out
rationally and gain the mathematical skills to prove/disprove it.
