“Modern cosmologists invented dark matter to save the Standard Model, according to which, the universe should have flown apart by now.”
I think that was actually “dark energy”, which replaced the previous fudge factor known as “the cosmological constant”. Dark matter is the other fudge factor they invented to explain why galactic motion doesn’t appear to follow the standard laws of motion and gravitation.
I wonder how many they're up to now? Dozens? Hundreds?
The amount of patching and band-aids on the Standard Model has gotten pretty ridiculous.
