There’s stuff we can see. From trees and people down to atoms of gold. Basically if we can see it with an instrument, that’s called baryonic matter.

The trouble is what we can see and touch only makes up about a third of existence. everything else we can’t see and we can’t touch and we can’t measure it. That’s dark matter and dark energy.

Well how do you find something if you can’t see it and can’t touch it? You make guesses about how it will affect things it touches that we can see, then watch for those events. This is where CERN comes in, as well as other experiments like those to the detect neutrinos.
