Dark matter is what the Emperor's clothes were made of until the little boy noticed them and by his very observation (Heisenburg Principle) caused them to cease to exist.
I agree the whole dark matter thing is just a little bit hinky. I'm reminded of the theory of aether as the material that allowed light waves to propagate through space. They didn't understand how waves could travel through nothing, so they made something up--- something you couldn't see and had no mass. Pretty convenient.
I want to see if I can convince my bill collecters there's such a thing as 'dark money'. I gave it to them, they just can't detect it.

I lived one mile (in a straight line, not by road) from that scientific site. Then I retired, and the wife wanted to move back to Oklahoma.
I miss northern New Mexico.
