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?

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.

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.

"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.

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

Thanks for posting an article that brings out people who are proud of their ignorance.

Dark matter theory was born by a discrepancy between distances measured to certain distant objects when measured by 1) redshift, and 2) intensity. The redshift measurement method is long-standing. The intensity method is new. The redshift method relies on a "Hubble constant" which has never been nailed down. The intensity method is considered more reliable. Redshift measurements pegged the Hubble constant at a value which relies on the universe's gravity slowing down universal expansion. Intensity measurements reveal that farther objects are, rather than slowing, accelerating away from us. It's a real conundrum which some say can be explained away with time dilation. Put another way, it can be explained away with photon decay. Both redshift and intensity methods rely on photon measurement. Since the inception of red shift measurements some scientists have argued that redshift is, at least partially, explained by the fact that time is slowing with expansion in the intervening space .....termed "time dilation". How much observed redshift is due to recession, and how much is due to time dilation, has always been the biggest question in determining the Hubble constant. However, detection of universal acceleration relies on intensity measurements, not on redshift measurements. What is it about the intensity measurement method which would inherently indicate accelerated expansion? Or are the intensity measurements accurate? Is something pushing our universe apart?

We can’t see it. We can’t detect it. But we see things being affected by something and really can’t explain it at all.
Dark matter! We are scientists and we are smarter than you!
This really sounds like an SNL skit.

Leave it to modern physicists to map out something that has never been observed.

I think the flaw in the Standard Model will have to do with the effect on gravity on light. The problem is manifest in two galaxies that are connected to each other, while one of them has a red shift indicating it is far, far behind the other and could not possibly be connected.
Halton Arp will be vindicated.
