It has been theorized that at the beginning of the Big Bang, a "war" occured involving dark matter and normal matter (in other terms, there happened to be a huge amount of both and this meant conflict due to the fact that dark matter, and normal matter destroy one another upon meeting), and normal matter had the victory. (there happened to be a greater amount of normal matter. The leftover, surviving matter is the makeup of the universe)

As antoniseb said, there's a lot to digest.

Before even trying to get into this idea, I'd like to start with what is stated as well-established mainstream conclusions.

Where is it "said that 95% of the universal mass/energy is missing..."?

How did you determine that, in mainstream cosmology, "[t]his [mass/energy] has been dubbed "dark matter"..."?

Where can one read up on the details of this ""war" [...] involving dark matter and normal matter" in which "normal matter had the victory"?
