The writer uses that bogus phrase, “scientific consensus”. I don’t think they understand what ‘science’ and the scientific method actually are.

Is the Supreme Court also changing the laws of Physics?

Dark Matter is Dumb Science.

here’s why.

We have an equation on how the big bang “works”. You have to have a mass of for example X for the Big Bang to ever occur. But we seen in the known universe, a pitiful FRACTION of this mass (like less than 1%). So since we “KNOW” the universe was formed from the Big Bang, there MUST be dark matter (and energy) we cannot see..

Once you start lying, saying you know things you just suspect and cannot prove, the lies just multiply.

Blah blah blah...
What drivel...
The only thing it omits is the role that watermelons and testicles play in quantum theory...

I can make myself almost crazy trying to figure out gravity. ;-)

Does it pull or push? Does it pressurize or suck? Makes me half-insane just typing this humbug! ;-)

One way to separate good theories from bad ones is to see which theory makes better predictions.

Except for global warming.

[Hodar]

I am deeply humbled by how far Physics giants like Newton, Einstein, Bohr and others got, with the equipment and technology they had available at their time. Somewhere, there are other giants just waiting to emerge and propel us further into understanding the nature of this amazing universe

Those who say “there is no God”, do not have a freshman’s understanding of how many paradoxical things exist, both at the astronomical scale or at the quantum state.

Maybe it’s also that gravity declines at a rate just slightly greater than the square of the distance as classical theory assumes. Perhaps due to a gravitational quantum we haven’t yet figured out.

[PIF]

Only more data and debate will be able to settle the score on dark matter and Mond and after a few more centuries when absolutely everything is known and there is little point in living, let alone pursuing ‘science’.

Sheessh.

[Stosh]

So what I’d like to know includes the following:

Do we have any idea how much matter has been swallowed up by the dark hole at the center of a given galaxy?

and

Once it’s become part of that black hole, does a given quantity of matter still exhibit the same gravitational attraction it did before?

[HandyDandy]

MOND over matter.

[Blurp2]

...or it could all just be local variations in the fundamental constants of the universe...

[Billthedrill]

Another paradigm shift in physics. These guys are out of control. What if gravity is really a green monster with tentacles that lives in the center of planets and sucks really hard all the time and it gets angry when physicists says it's something else and goes on strike and we all end up floating out into space and dying of asphyxiation? Where would we be then? Except for the out in space part, that is.

Dang physicists.

[cgbg]

The deeper issue is that “laws of nature” are broken by nature all the time.

It turns out they are “laws” that humans wrote.
