I was under the impression that the science was settled

Dark matter is just another scam to help institutional orthodoxy avoid the scientific conclusion that their model of the universe is wrong.

Maybe we should stop and listen to the chimpanzee. Might learn something. 😀

Maybe chimpanzees just don’t have enough patience to talk to us about calculus.

I think the simpler explanation is that we don’t fully understand gravity yet.

So, why isn’t it called ‘Dark Gravity’?....................

Hi.

I’m going to solve the puzzle of the universe.

No, it’s not E=mc2 it’s that the whole universe is binary.

Matter, antimatter. On, off. Is, isn’t, light, dark...etc.

True, false.

God ordered this way.

“[dark matter] does not absorb, reflect, or emit any electromagnetic radiation . . .”

Do black holes reflect, or emit any electromagnetic radiation? Can we measure how much electromagnetic radiation they absorb? Do they contribute to the gravitational strength of their galaxies? If so, do we know how much?

>>“Dark matter”....”Dark energy”.....maybe neither exist. <<

Well according to the article:

“Once again, subtract the visible matter, et voila - a map of the dark matter within that lensing cluster.”

So take away what you can observe and whatever you observe after that is the dark stuff.

See? So next time you want to see dark matter look where it is not, then turn your head and cough.

Dark matter matters.

Okay, you win.

Keep waiting. People get upset when asking for evidence about theories concerning all matter.

Yep, I’ve said this since they came up with the kludge called DM and DE. Worthless numbers thrown into their calculations to balance the ledger.

Joe Biden obviously has a problem identifying "dark matter" as well . . . seems that this is his black woman V.P. choice.

Because they think there is something out there causing higher gravity than they expect. It's gotta be matter, right?

I think they just don't understand how gravity works, yet. There is no dark matter.

Serious Problem With Our Understanding of Dark Matter ????

That settles it...CERN must build the The Future Circular Collider. It will only cost around $23B; and think of the happy "particle parties" the physicists can have as they discover newer tidbits of the universe that will, in turn, result in the demand for even bigger colliders. And just can't wait for the $3.2B Roman Space Telescope to go into orbit so we can have lots of new, nifty pictures from the Jet Propulsion Lab, at $1.6B annually...

Ok..I know what Oscar Wilde said..."“A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing.” "

Science is an art

Theories are meant to be invalidated

“I’m still waiting for proof that there’s matter that is undetectable, that doesn’t reflect light, and that doesn’t just satisfy some equations that would not work without it.”

Could it be that the equation is wrong?

Reminds me of how all the problems that blacks have is the result of white racism, because the equation says all races are the same. So they keep looking for all the evil white racists and have trouble finding any.

The problem is much more easily solved by accepting the reality staring us in the face - and changing the equation to “all races are not on average the same”.

Mystery solved.

While the attempts to corral and/or understand black matter leads to some fascinating questions, from reading all these articles from the past few years I've observed another very intriguing aspect...

Native-born Americans no longer participate in major studies in astrophysics...

The principal strategies of government-controlled education and indoctrination are working as anticipated...
In particular, the Nation's level of scientific competence has finally attained the level of that of Mexico, Yemen, Indonesia,and Somalia...

There is an excess of dark matter in this animal farm...
