"The reason that dark matter is so mysterious is that it pretty much never does anything, which makes it hard to spot. Dark matter doesn’t give off light, or have any sort of magnetic field, and it almost never interacts with normal matter in any way."

As long as we're discussing mythical beasts, well, rules...

I’ve been skeptical whether dark matter exists or if it was invented to make the models work.

It's the latter.

Well calling something the “rarest event in history” is very unscientific. Everything that has happened only once ties it. Everything that never happened beats it.

The mathematical need for the existence of dark matter disappears when the math of the 2-dimensional hologram theory of the universe is applied. Suddenly it all makes sense, except the conceit that the entire universe is actually a two dimensional projection. That’s hard to accept.

” Everything that never happened beats it.”

If it never happened it is not an event.

Definition of rare (Entry 1 of 2)

1 : seldom occurring

“Well calling something the “rarest event in history” is very unscientific.”

Only the headline. Headlines are seldom totally accurate.

“Everything that has happened only once ties it. Everything that never happened beats it.”

Actually, there have been MANY MANY such events. We have observed only one.

Everything we know has been invented to make the models works.

Dark matter is a cheat. They just don’t make genius physicists like they used to.

Yep. Modern cosmology is one big conglomeration of ad hoc poppycock nonsense.

A proper model, built upon sound axioms and principles, would not only predict new observations, it would also explain them. The Standard Model has utterly failed in that regard.

On the other hand, the Electric Universe model predicts and even requires many of the observed phenomena that modern cosmologists have struggled to shoehorn into the Standard Model.
