LOL, unless its something a liberal skimmer can make $$ off of then its settled.

Science in this country is mostly run by buffoons who believe themselves to be smart. I love it when they’re force to reassess their dogma.

They're smart enough, I think. But, they seem to think that gives them the right, indeed the obligation, to jerk us around and run our lives. That's when they are at their most buffoonish. (IMHO)

Such an luddite attitude here, and THEY’RE the buffoons ? You cannot reassess dogma, as dogma is correct without regard to facts. Dogma cannot be science for that reason. btw, the last exceptionally rich scientist was Thomas Edison. I hope it’s ok with you that he earned his fortune.

And I too love it when honest science reassesses it’s theories. Since it means they have new facts they now can plug in to the old theories, and refute, confirm, or enhance the old conclusions. And that’s what science is.

>>>My wife and I had that exact conversation a few years back when cosmologists first started the whole “dark matter” craze. “How sure are they that they are seeing everything there is to see? Every time they think they have found the edge, they find a way to look further and find more ‘there’ out there.”

Absolutely true but with a proviso. I was posting on another thread just a night or two ago of theories that there may be multiples of the total of known galaxies laying outside our detection horizon. That however doesn’t YET eliminate the possibility of dark matter though as the mechanism for the ongoing expansion of space. These theoretical unobserved galaxies still must be located and measured. Then there is the possibility both may co-exist as factors.

There is a lot of math and astronomy yet to do here. Lots of doorknobs yet to try to open.
