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?
Stop draggin stop draggin my matter around.
No one cares about normal matter. We should all be concerned with black matter and trans matter.
does black matter matter?
the end of millions of dollars of tax grants to study ‘dark matter’?

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.”
Dark Matter = modern day epicycles.
Who cares?
Sparklite2, is this really “breaking news”? I ask because, if I recall correctly, these observations were discussed by Timothy Ferris in his book entitled The Whole Shebang, copyright 1997. I am not a scientist, not even an amateur one, but I did enjoy Ferris’ book.
I always considered dark matter analogous to the ancient aether: a convenient construction to explain what could not objectively be explained.
I wouldn’t celebrate yet (I have no idea why non-experts hate the theory of dark matter).

Wow. Really interesting.
