"There is no point of origin. Space is expanding. The effects of dark matter have been observed for several decades including the collision of two galaxies mentioned in the article."

Utter nonsense. If "space" was expanding then molecules would be growing larger.

If dark matter existed, then its gravity (that's why scientists want to pretend it exists, remember) would pull matter toward it, taking into account the "dark matter" map that you see in the article for this thread, which isn't uniform.

The truth is that dark matter is fiction.

Actually, new space is created at an exponential rate. Space has physical properties. It is more than mere nothingness. An analogy would be the water in the ocean increasing in volume. The things in the ocean would not get any larger.

That's exactly what astronomers see. This study has anomalies because of errors. That anomalies increase toward the edges of the field confirms it.

The truth is that dark matter is fiction.

The truth is you are going to great lengths to be willfully ignorant.

Flapdoodle.

Local spacetime is bound by gravity. There is enough mass in your average galaxy to create a gravity well that prevents expansion. Molecules are even more absurd.

Um.....no. They wouldn't be.  They'd be expanding apart.

But, if they were growing larger, you'd wouldn't know it, and there'd probably be no way at all to see it happen.

If everything is relative that may be the case.
