Does it really matter?

[Tailgunner Joe]

Dark matter can’t be detected in any way, but we know it exists because scientists tell us so, and they are never wrong.

[blueplum]

cool! so dark matter, creates dark stars, which collapse to create black holes, which suck in stars and space stuff around them? so do the xrays* emitted change back into dark matter? or do the black holes, when they ultimately evaporate, (per Hawkins) change back into dark matter?

*I’m not sure if it’s xrays I’m talking about (it can’t be light, right?), but every picture I see of a black hole has two streams, top and bottom, streaming out from the center of the hole as pictured here: http://hubblesite.org/explore_astronomy/black_holes/encyclopedia.html

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

What it means is that all the theories proposed to date don’t work and lead to absurdities, so they have to invent something that fixes the broken theories.
Time to start all over again trying to figure out the Universe.

I can't believe, with all the Deadheads on FR, that nobody has posted this yet, so here goes....

Dark star crashes, pouring its light into ashes.
Reason tatters, the forces tear loose from the axis.
Searchlight casting for faults in the clouds of delusion.
Shall we go, you and I while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?

Mirror shatters in formless reflections of matter.
Glass hand dissolving to ice petal flowers revolving.
Lady in velvet recedes in the nights of good-bye.
Shall we go, you and I while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?
