No I'm not a particularly big person with a weight issue.
Somebody asked me this question and I don't know the answer, but somebody here will.
OK, it's now accepted that dark matter is everywhere in the Universe, it tends to clump with regular matter because all matter is subject to gravity, but there is a lot more of it than the normal matter.
So, some proportion of my body mass will be due to dark matter.
If the dark matter wasn't there, would I weigh less according my bathroom scales?
