Reality? interact with it, and see if you can predict it. if you can, then you can create laws that gather all those predictions, and try to find a meaning to that law. If you cant predict, then you cant name laws, and you cant find any meaning.

choose the one that applies to most cases best. later, the explaination and meaning you may give to it is rather more personal and is not inmediatly connected to reality itself.

pd: (i think that) Dark matter is nothing by itself, its a patch that was added to a theory to make it work. Aparently there were unexplained gravitationl pulls, so the scientists decided to add an ad hoc premise that said that there was an invisible (dark) and extremely abundant matter that was the cause of that pull.
I think exprience shows us that ad hoc premises are almost always disproved, so I choose not to believe in dark matter and the theory that supports it.
