is this just another modeling hoax like global warming.

I have read enough Sci-Fi to know this will end badly ...
On a more serious note: The outpouring of ignorant arrogance and jealousy from many on this thread is appalling.

the science is settled on that for sure.

They used gravitational lensing of light sources “behind” the two galaxies to determine where the dark matter is.
Dark matter has gravity, too, because it is matter.
They compared the degree of lensing caused by the two galaxies against the lensing caused by the dark matter, and they drew a map.
Seems pretty straight forward to me.
Gathering the data also seems like a significant technical achievement to me, too.

Amazing and yet it could all be nonsense and I wouldn’t know the difference. That’s why I popped in to see what smarter FReepers think.
