I'm afraid normal matter only makes up a very small percetage of the universe, the rest is dark matter.

thats still up for discussion

Dark matter is just a way to explain the mass of the universe we can't see. We can't prove it's there because you can't actually see it.

but can we not observe its effects?

It's hard to observe the effects of something we aren't sure even exists.

actually we can observe the effects. We just can't detect it.

Just like gravity.

and it's effects can't ever truly be observed because of the effects of anti matter and it's intantaneous creation and destruction by collision with matter which results in a net energy enthropy of 0 but is always occuring at the microscopic level and really messes with any attempts to come up with exact calculations and figures
