Dark matter matters.

What matters is that we’re still in the dark about dark matter. Consider the gravity of that.

Dark Matter lives in the brains of Dems.

By the way, does anyone know what the Speed Of Dark is?

Is it something to do with Biden's Brain?

Anytime you hear the word “dark” in science, you should immediately be suspicious.

“Dark matter”....”Dark energy”.....maybe neither exist. Maybe our current understanding is simply flawed and that’s why our models don’t work. As brilliant as Newton was, he got some things wrong as Einstein pointed out. Well as brilliant as Einstein was maybe.......

Or maybe it doesn’t exist at all. After all, there’s only indirect evidence for it, right?

We are so limited in what we know, and what we can measure, it’s like trying to teach a chimpanzee calculus.

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.

Galactic motions aren’t consistent with the amount of observable matter. So either the basic theory is wrong or there is a lot of undetectable matter and energy in the universe. Since theory can’t ever be wrong there must be invisible, undetectable matter that affects everything.

Think about that for a minute. LOL. Most of the universe is made up of undetecable, invisible matter and energy. You have to believe this because they all have so many college degrees.

Has any scientist ever proposed that our universe is expanding faster over time because there is unseen matter that it is falling towards that has not been detected yet?
