As I recall - the new telescope showed that there were a lot more galaxies then previously understood.

Which would mean that they have to recalculate all of the Dark Matter stuff.

I’m personally skeptical of dark matter/dark energy just for exactly the reason that I think we just can’t see everything so it was introduced just to compensate for our lack of knowledge.

Dark matter is a term used to rationalize the fact the data does not support the cosmological models.

That’s not correct. Dark matter is about interactions within galaxies and their close neighbors. It’s not about the total mass of the universe so more galaxies doesn’t have an impact.

Me too. It always seemed to me to be a mathematical construct, so to speak, to make all the equations work out.
