An artist’s rendition of something they don’t even know what it is.

I’m coming right out and saying it —

A “dark matter filament” which is 40 million light years long ... it holds together how? It attaches to what part of the first galaxy? It attaches to what part of the second galaxy? As the universe expands and the galaxies move in relation to each other, the filament expands and/or contracts as needed? Does it sag? Could it snap?

This is laugh-out-loud illogical and farcical. These so-called scientists are idiots. They may have a PhD and I don’t, but this is a joke.

"Dark matter, a mysterious substance" that keeps the standard model of cosmology from being laughed out of the room.

See all those pretty spiral galaxies in all the pretty pictures? Not enough detectable mass there to keep them from flying apart as they spin - so some mysterious "invisible" mass was needed to keep careers intact. And of course it was found. Theoretically found that is.

I’d conclude that they call it “dark” matter merely because it’s not visible. As a Believer, I think that, if dark matter is anything, it is the physical manifestation of what is declared about Christ in Colossians Chapter 1. HE, is holding the entire Creation together. Check Colossians 1 online to get the entire picture.
