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"?

1&2. Its a very commonly held idea. You can find it many different places, here is one of them:

3. I actually got it from one of the shows regarding the subject of the birth of the universe on Discovery (or one of those channels) |
Thanks for your answers.
re 1: the reference you give is not in
ADS; do you have any which are?
Further, that reference does not refer, as far as I can see, to "
95% of the universal mass/energy [being] missing...". Do you have any such reference?
re 2: the reference you give is not in
ADS; do you have any which are?
Further, that reference does not refer, as far as I can see, to "
[t]his [mass/energy] has been dubbed "dark matter"...". Do you have any such reference?
re 3: in which papers, either preprints on
the arXiv server, or papers published in relevant, peer-reviewed journals, can one read up on the details of this "
"war" [...] involving dark matter and normal matter" in which "normal matter had the victory"?
Which specific show (on Discovery, or any other channel) did you get this from?
More generally, how can any reader of this thread check the veracity of these statements?
