Hoping to live long enough to hear the physicists admit they screwed up and that the extra gravity in the universe can be explained by the fact they grossly underestimated the mass of the black hole at the heart of EVERY galaxy.

What’s really annoying is that they speak of dark matter as if it’s a fact rather than an unproven theory with no real evidence to back it up. It’s the Global Warming of Astrophysics

Actually, I believe a simple inspection of the rate of rotation of the outer parts of the arms of a galaxy compared to the inner parts of the arms indicates that there is something heavily unexplained in our understanding of matter and its distribution.

"Dark Matter" and "Dark Energy" are simply terms to label what is currently misunderstood in our limited understanding of physics. It doesn't mean those term are invented out of a need for prevarication.

It's a mathematical construct used to get all their other equations to make sense in their quest for the Grand Unified Theory.
