You have a fundamental misunderstanding of physics if you think that analogy is even remotely similar to dark matter.

Let’s say I construct an apple orchard with harvesters that run on batteries. The batteries send power to the machines when they are inserted into them, and the harvesters use the battery power to harvest 100g apples. If I weigh the battery before putting it in a machine, and the battery weighs 1,000g, would that be fucked up, or what?

Look, all I know is that when I bake an apple pie with those apples, my family is happy and no longer hungry, and isn’t that what dark matter is all about? The things that matter.

I’m happy to talk about this more, but I’m afraid I don’t understand your analogy. I’m sorry! If you’d like to rephrase it, I’ll make myself available to respond. 🙂
