dark matter, dark energy.. yes this is common sense.. the details , the particulars? no of course not... but that the universe is made of mostly cold darkness that is transparant and some kind of mystical force is driving all of it.. umm.. duhhhh....
scientists arent figuring anything out... they are putting labels and disecting components... they reach no answers ancient man could not..
I believe you are confusing the concept of darkness, ie absence of light with the word dark in dark matter. Science can answer all of the questions worth answering, name one then cannot. Science is simply observation and testing to find truth, it is the purest way of discerning truth, it is objective unlike philosphy. Philosophy has nothing new to say and has not for a long long time. The same arguments are being presented and the same rebuttals. Philosophy is working with logic and reason, science goes beyond that using math and instruments that enhance our perceptions. Quantum mechanics, string theory etc are all counterintuitive and defy logic, they defy cause and effect, temporal logic and so on.
Science can answer questions philosophy couldn't even dream up, namely because it uses a language that requires testing,knowledge and experience. It is a language that surpasses our limited vocabulary and points at the true nature of existence, math.
