Dark matter is a stretch.
If interested, look up the electric theory of the universe. Explains a lot!

These so-called scientists probably didn’t consider any Climate Change effects when doing their calculations. Why do I always have to think of everything?

Dark matter. Kinda laughable.
There’s a famous cartoon with a professor and a student in front of a chalkboard. There’s complex math on one side, and in the middle ‘a miracle happens’ then complex math on the other.
The caption is something like, “We’ll need a little more detail on the middle part.”
To: BenLurkin
There is no dark matter, and the “error” is in some mathematical assumptions, in the “standard model” that carry all the way into mathematical assumptions about gravity, and a lack in those assumtpions about other matters not considered in the “standard model”. The “hole” is not in missing matter. It is the math that is missing things.

The same people who mock people for believing in invisble sky fairies, believe in invisible matter

In an old radio theory book I used to have that was from the 1930s, it claimed that an as-yet undiscovered element permeated the universe, and that it conducted electomagnetic and light waves. This element was called aether.

It’s energy/matter leakage from other dimensions.
If we lived in a two dimensional universe (think sheet of paper) and we were getting warmer because the desk lamp was shining on us, we would be wondering, “where’s all this heat coming from?” And we’d feel dark, compressed areas left by a pencil and wonder what caused that, too.

An invisible force is having an effect on our Universe.

A rather potent myth at that, insofar as it influences gravitational lensing.

"it suggests something is missing from our current understanding of the Standard Model"
Since we don't know what dark matter is, that seems obvious. It has long been suspected to be some subatomic particle that doesn't interact with normal matter other than gravitationally. Its behavior will then vary depending on how massive each particle is. Less mass means less clumping, more mass means more. Neutrinos were once considered a candidate but they are far too light.

Now an international team of astronomers has used one of the world's most powerful telescopes to analyse that effect across 10 million galaxies in the context of Einstein's general relativity. The result? The most comprehensive map of dark matter across the history of the Universe to date.Either that, or they forgot to take the lens cap off of their telescope.

Not to worry. AOC’s Green New Deal will take care of the problem.

Add Zero point energy to that to make a bit more sense.

What’s dark matter? We don’t know, we can’t see it but it spans 10 galaxies.
