It is like many scientific discoveries; its affects can be seen so it is added in to balance things out. Observations of Uranus showed that something not seen was affecting its orbit. They finally found Neptune. Though, truthfully, it was first seen by Galileo but he is not credited because he thought it was a fixed star. The Neutrino was not seen but physicists needed something to balance certain equations, later they found it.
