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.

If he ever does practical research he’ll simply disappear. Like all electrogravitic engineers.

Dark matter is an explanation for why galaxies spin much faster than our model for gravity permits by given the galactic mass their stellar population implies. For dark matter not to exist, our model for gravity and/or our model for stellar mass has to be wrong.

Dark energy is simply a plug label for whatever is causing the well-observed accelerating expansion of the universe. The only way it doesn’t exist is if those observations of expansion are wrong.

A study put out by science deniers? Being taken seriously?

Excellent points. It is sad what has happened in Science these days. Because of the huge money involved these ‘pseudo-scientists’ have changed the scientific method to, “Come up with a theory and manipulate the data to fit it”, instead of experimenting with the data that you have and never make a conclusion until after it is tested.

Be nice to know what day it was born on. We could have a Federal Holiday for it.

Also, we need to know what gender pronoun it uses so we don’t get it the wrong ‘gifts’.++

I was hoping to get superpowers from dark matter. Guess that idea is shot. Now I have to focus on dark energy.

You’ll all know when I succeed! The whole world will know! Hahahahaha!

And the global warming model?

The racism model?

the covid model?

The current economic mode?

etc.

Trump would call it a ‘bloodbath’ out there in the universe.

Democrats would call it indictable for Trump.

Meanwhile, new theories will arise, and no theory will turn out to be correct, since with each new theory, old theories fall out of favor. So, in the end, Trump is correct and it’s a bloodbath with competing theories.

The universe is getting older faster than I am...

Lol.

Replace Unicorn matter for dark matter and Unicorn energy for dark energy and your post still works.

;-)

If Dark Matter is in question, then what makes us think any of the construct humans have devised of galaxies & the Universe are accurate? Even though Hubble has been out there for 34 years, I seriously doubt that it has gotten anywhere even near to the outer rim of the Milky Way (our) Galaxy. We can see Nebulas within our galaxy. We state we see things that are claimed to be other galaxies, but are they really?

Dark matter / energy is the modern day equivalent of Einstein’s constant.

This may turn out to have a classic science fiction ending.

The Hubble looks further and further and further out into the past and eventually there it is:

Our solar system and the planet Earth—with the Hubble telescope looking at itself.

At that point the scientists just give up and admit they have no clue what is going on...

Lol.

Ugh, “science”!

Its scientific “FACT” until it isn’t.

Dark star, I see you in the morning,
Dark star, sleeping next to me
Dark star, let the memory of the evening
Be the first thing that you think of
When you open up your smile and see me, dark star

It’s been said before: “Physics progresses one death at a time.”
