While we do not yet understand what dark matter is formed of, we know that it is everywhere,” said Dr Denis Erkal from Cambridge’s Institute of Astronomy, the paper’s lead author. “It permeates the universe and acts as scaffolding around which astrophysical objects made of ordinary matter – such as galaxies – are assembled.”

So, Einstein was correct about the ether, and motion in space is the exact same as wave theory predicts?

Has nothing to do with General Relativity, it has to do with electricity and magnetism! It the relative strength of the "strong" force that holds nuclei together is 1, then the strength of gravity is 10-31 but the electromagnetic force is 10-3, or about 1028 times stronger.

No clue what you are talking about.

I thought the question and my answer was on the existence of "black matter" or as called by Tesla and Einstein, the ether.

Most modern physicists disagree that the ether exists, although all the math shows it should, so they started using the phrase "black matter" instead.

Dark matter has never been shown to exist. It’s never been detected or described. But to make the math work in some models they pretend its there. The king has no clothes.

I thought Cambridge was a good school.

Einstein proved that the ether did not exist, so you can understand my confusion about what you wrote.

You might want to relook at your supposition.

Before Einstein, the ether meant one thing. After Einstein, a different thing was given the label “ether”. So when I say that Einstein disproved the existence of the ether, I mean the original definition.

If you were going to criticize anything, you should have said that Einstein only explained what Albert A. Michelson and Edward W. Morley had proven by experiment in 1887.
