Abstract
If from 90 to 99 percent of the universe is concealed from us we can’t help but wonder: What form does it take? In the case of galaxies and clusters we know it is there. But why is it hidden from us? There are many possibilities, and many forms it could take. In this chapter I will examine all of them briefly. In later chapters I will look at some of the more important ones in more detail.
