Could dark matter be matter that was already close to leaving the universe? Was it possible that it was either ready to leave or was itself the matter that made the film of the ‘bubble’ that was our universe suspended in the fourth dimension?
One thing that is certain is that if matter was effectively formed into a perimeter beyond our ability to detect and if that perimeter was total – like the skin of the orange or the filmy surface of the bubble – surrounding our entire universe, then it would be a considerably large amount of matter even if spread very thinly.
