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.

Black Lives Matter does not exist?
LOL - as Biden would say, it is just an idea?

So, if there is no “Dark Matter,” wouldn’t that make it all “White Matter,” which means the Universe is racist?

I agree with you completely. Dark mater was the same as the ether was. Heck maybe they are the same thing 😀 I saw a physics YouTube video saying there was a new explanation which adds uncertainty to a description of gravity that makes dark mater unnecessarily.

In a perfectly obvious though possibly stupid question: What was where the universe was and where did what made it in the emptiness of space come from? Inquiring minds want to know.

In a related matter, what is at the end of space? Just for the record.

climate change models being incomplete ad dark matter. Dark matter has always been the refuge of inaccurate cosmic models.

They may not be stupid questions—but they may be the wrong questions.

The human mind works well for muddling through everyday life on planet Earth and making cool tools.

It may not be well designed to comprehend the deeper mysteries of the universe.

When one euphemism, like “global warming,” no longer was convincing, it was morphed into “climate change.”

Now that “dark matter” has been milked for all its worth, there is a new euphemism (”tired light”) to take its placed at the research grant feeding trough.

Then we should quit paying people to do just that.

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

Funny, I said the same thing.

researchers are beginning to appreciate how noncoding DNA can be a genetic resource for cells and a nursery where new genes can evolve.


evidence is, it is an amazing back system.

Dark Matter was nothing more than an excuse to explain something they did not understand. I always assumed that it was a theory that really would not last very long.

I was beginning to wonder if Dark Matter was the new Phlogiston.

The title is about dark matter, but the explanation is about dark energy.

I agree that dark energy is questionable. from the start of redshift science the challenge has been to determine how much is attributable to speed of recession and how much is due to time dilation. Then suddenly scientists seemed to get amnesia about time dilation, and just assigned its affects to some mysterious force.

Oh yeah?

A roommate years ago, owned an old Chrysler, and he had changed the engine oil, and went off to work.

In the early evening, I was at a nearby restaurant, looking at the kind face of a young lady who worked there, as she looked up . . . with a question.

I looked around and where the house was, a black cloud of smoke billowed up into the air.

“Excuse me! I got to go!” And out the door in a rush, went I.

Passing a neighboring house, I looked at the yard and source of the black cloud.

It was the Chrysler.

The owner, the roommate, plus another roommate, and I, began a quick question and answer session.

The Chrysler had too much engine oil, and that overheated, and the gas engine was dieseling - it kept running, even though the ignition was OFF.

John Kerry would have freaked out.

Dark Matter.

Me, “You have an old blanket?”

Car owner, “Yes.”

Me, “Fold it into quarters, wet it, and place it over the carburetor.”

Car owner “OK.”

That worked; the Chrysler choked. Planet earth, saved.

I’ll sleep better at night knowing that dark matter is dark.

Dark matter is a racist construct of the white man’s so called science, meant to stop powerful people of color from manifesting their destiny as rulers of their celestial kingdom. Wakanda forever!
