Do you ever look out at the night sky and wonder just where the heck everyone is? If stories like SYFY’s Resident Alien (streaming now on Peacock, by the way!) are any indication, the universe is filled with intelligent extraterrestrials just waiting to visit our little planet and become our best fr...

Dark matter looks like nothing, because that's what it is. Euclid will see a lot of things, but not dark matter. It is not a substance, it is a descriptive term for a breakdown in Newton-Einstein Gravitational Dynamics.
The new dynamic is the Milgromian Gravitational Dynamic.
Incidentaly, this is not science fiction.
