Looks like we have some extra mass to play with.
I dont know about you but dark matter has always bugged me. I have a feeling theres a lot more to be found... like the twin planet system they found last week.
Dark energy I can dig though.

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |

I, too, have suspected for some time that the missing dark matter of the universe is simply matter that's there, but which we simply haven't yet found. I wonder how many other places it may be hiding. (I bet I have some in those long-unexplored boxes in my storage shed, or instance. Imagine how much must be in storage, forgotten on every inhabited world.)
Wouldn't deuterium be a less volatile form of hydrogen than the usual isotope? I mean, wouldn't it freeze at a higher temperature, due to it's double mass?
