Captured by researchers at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, the composite image is proof that dark matter acts as a giant intergalactic web that connects galaxies throughout space and time. Their findings were published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Dark matter is an invisible force that doesnt emit or reflect light, and is only detectable through gravity. It makes up around 27 percent of the observable universe and scientists have long predicted that the ghostly substance plays a crucial role in the makeup of our entire universe.
For decades, researchers have been predicting the existence of dark-matter filaments between galaxies that act like a web-like superstructure connecting galaxies together, Mike Hudson, an author of the study, said in a statement.

“Only detectable through gravity”
That explains why my scale is off by so much.

It’s matter. It connects the universe via filiments. So how dense is it? What would it look like in crossection?

Astronomers get a false color image of the filaments connecting two galaxies together and immediately jump to the conclusion they are composed of dark matter without evidence. . . but the Electric Universe cosmologists could tell them exactly what they are looking at: Electricmagnetic flows of current!

“dark matter is a force.”
Pick one, matter or force.

Hmmm. I thought that by it’s very nature dark matter couldn’t be detected. Like String Theory or Multiuniverse Theory this more resembles theology than science.
Since dark matter is supposed to suffuse the universe shouldn’t it be detectable everywhere? And if it is undetectable then it is crackpot theory. “We have all the answers. So send us more grants. We can’t prove any of it but send us more grants. Giant flaming dump trucks full of grant money!”

4,000+ years ago, in His famous discourse to Job wherein He overwhelms puny Job with His capability, God claims that “darkness” has a physical location: “...and where does darkness reside?” Job 38:19

...but the Electric Universe cosmologists could tell them exactly what they are looking at: Electricmagnetic flows of current! Electricity in the Universe has been identified from beneath our feet, in animals and plants, our biosphere, and out to the furthest reaches of the Universe. In general, electricity is present wherever we find plasma, and since 99.999% of the visible universe is in the plasma state, magnetic field and electric currents are nearly everywhere.
