Bye, bye, dark matter? One can only hope.

Yes, hopefully. But seriously, wasn’t Dark Matter “invented” to explain the motion of galaxies and such?

Dark matter is matter traveling faster than the speed of light.
You’re welcome.

No one cares about normal matter. We should all be concerned with black matter and trans matter.
To: InterceptPoint
Yup. And now it seems the measurements needing dark matter don’t. This is yuge.

You might be on to something...

I think you are onto something. Every time I tried to type in dark matter, it started out as black matter and I had to backspace to fix it. Something’s happening here.

the end of millions of dollars of tax grants to study ‘dark matter’?

This is yugeIndeed. But now that you've solved The Dark Matter Mystery you need to go to work getting rid of Dark Energy.

Two Astrophysical Theories were sitting at a bar.
First Theory says, “Hi, are you new here?”
Second Theory replies, “Yes, I just received my membership card.”
FT, “Do you know my father, Al? He got me my club membership ages ago!”
ST, “Al? Al who?”
FT, “Al Einstein. I’m called Cosmological Constant. What’s your name?
ST, “Dark Matter. So how is it being a member of the Association of Discarded Theories?”
FT, “Some good, some bad. It’s all Relative, after all.”

Hey, what’ sa matter you?!
Hi astronomer: stick your dark matter where the light don’t shine — cos’ of gravity.

I think what they’re saying is, the amount of ordinary matter in a galaxy, by new more accurate measurements, is enough to explain the rotation of that galaxy, without the need for dark matter.
But I don’t see in the article how this addresses the movement of galaxies relative to one another, and the expansion of the universe as a whole.
