Study: Dark matter does not exist and the universe is 27 billion years old

The fabric of the cosmos, as we currently understand it, comprises three primary components: 'normal matter,' 'dark energy,' and 'dark matter.' However, new research is turning this established model on its head.

A recent study conducted by the University of Ottawa presents compelling evidence that challenges the traditional model of the universe, suggesting that there may not be a place for dark matter within it.

Dark matter, a term used in cosmology, refers to the elusive substance that does not interact with light or electromagnetic fields and is only identifiable through its gravitational effects.

Despite its mysterious nature, dark matter has been a fundamental element in explaining the behavior of galaxies, stars, and planets.

At the heart of this research is Rajendra Gupta, a distinguished physics professor at the Faculty of Science. Gupta's innovative approach involves the integration of two theoretical models: the covarying coupling constants (CCC) and "tired light" (TL), known together as the CCC+TL model.

This model explores the notion that the forces of nature diminish over cosmic time and that light loses energy over vast distances. This theory has been rigorously tested and aligns with various astronomical observations, including the distribution of galaxies and the evolution of light from the early universe.

I've been joking about this for years. Whenever they couldn't explain something they added "dark matter" to the equation.

A galaxy spinning in the "wrong" direction? Dark matter. Planets not "behaving as they should"? Dark matter. Galaxies "moving slower than models suggest"? Dark Matter.

Anyway, this is another theory to be debated.

What? Professor Gupta is challenging the settled science? Apostate! Off with his head!

“...forces of nature diminish over cosmic time”

Could we speed that up for Democrats and Tyrants?

Maybe there was Dark Matter, but it was all destroyed by Climate Change.

(I don’t mean to brag, but that’s a brilliant hypothesis. Where do I go to pick up my Nobel Prize in Physics?)

It’s definitely climate change!

Very little we are taught and think to know, is actually for sure.

everything is Trump’s fault. It is a universal constant.

We don’t know how it happened so we just make shiiite up, like “Dark Matter”.

Why not Unicorn Farts?

Would be nice if they just said, this is what we know, but this other stuff we don’t, but here’s some ideas about stuff we are working on.

You mean they finally figured out just who and what both Fauni Willis and Letitia James truly are?

I hope this does not segue into fascist dark matter pu$$y whipping southern gentlemen.

I mean either the dark matter is, or it is not!

Make up your minds!

Exactly right. Kinda like "junk dna"..."We don't know what it does, so it shouldn't be there."

dark matter constitutes ~27% of the universe, ordinary matter <5% and ~32% dark energy


So if dark matter does not exist, what of dark energy? The theory, as written in the article, does not account for dark energy.
