Anyway, the point is that Newton's law of gravitation is just an approximation - good enough to get us to the moon, but not perfect. General relativity is better.
This sounds good for a first approximation, since it is monotonically increasing if we win battles and manage our resources well, and decreases when we're losing.
But the first thing you should know about dark matter is that it doesn't have a color, and at least at first approximation, light seems to go right through it, so we can't see it.
We must generally, therefore, content ourselves with them, not as being always exactly in the same proportion as the current prices of labour, but as being the nearest approximation which can commonly be had to that proportion.
The hard part, the thing that no one had as yet succeeded in doing, was to predict for a time far enough ahead to be of any use a usably close approximation to the vortex's quantitative activity.
And people try and write approximations to these functionals and come up with descriptions of the electron clouds, where they're going to go, how they're going to interact when you put two elements together.
You have to come up with some approximation to the much more complicated thing you're doing such that you have the ability to do enough calculations with it for it to matter.
The system is so complex that, to date, our best computer models are only crude approximations --- and are not sophisticated enough to test hypotheses about the causes of climatic change.
