Remember, ‘GRAVITY’ is just a label......................

Cosmic glue was described in Scripture. Colossians 3:17, speaking of Jesus Christ: “He is before all things and in Him, all things hold together.”

It is mind boggling how many suns and planets are in the universe. And how large the universe is. We earthlings are just a grain of sand in the vast Pacific ocean.

More confirmation that something’s being missed.

This is what I have been saying for over thirty years as the balancing anti-matter is perceived as dark matter and the black hole is the window through which it is connected to our visible reality.

[cuban leaf]

Dark matter is kinda like God. Nobody sees it, but they see its effect, so they believe in it/Him.

However, of the two religions (science and Christianity) I choose the latter. Though science is fun and productive, all it does is give us a window into how God’s creation exists. It makes for a lousy religion.

“Are the stars out tonight?
I don’t know if it’s cloudy or bright.
They all disappear from view.
Cause the dark matter gets in the way.”

Nah.

I like the original better.

[Hodar]

So there is either “Dark Matter” accounting for stellar matter, moving in unexpected ways - something we cannot detect, see, or measure ..

Or, space itself is stretching due to gravitational effects, by unknown masses we can neither see nor detect.

Once we get to Quantum realm, things stop making sense; or when we get to astronomic scales; things stop making sense.

"Since dwarf galaxies are known to have a higher proportion of dark matter content than other types of galaxies"

That's an interesting fact. It seems to indicate that as dwarf galaxies merge with larger ones over time, dark matter is scattered and tends to spread out, much like the stars and gas themselves but to a greater degree. The clumping near the core does not happen as fast, maybe because unlike the galaxy's gas, it does not experience friction or collisions.

I’m starting to think that “dark matter” doesn’t really exist, any more than “the Ether” from 150 years ago, and is just a tweak to explain something we don’t understand yet.

Being that the Hubble telescope doesn’t stay in a fixed position everytime and the speed of light varies depending on what it is passing through, it is amazing that they can get such precise measurements of such distant stars position and movement.
I wonder why we cannot see,or figure out what, dark matter actually is. Yet we attribute so many phenomena to it’s putative activity. Shouldn’t we be able to calculate the effect of dark matter at a smaller scale, i.e our own solar system? If it makes up 90+ % of all matter....why is it not taken into account of all of our earthly physical experiences? Just askin’...not a rhetorical question.

[Dr. Thorne]

THIS IS THE SCIENCE!! um..., until it isn’t.

[zeugma]

“dark matter” has got to be the most embarrassing bit of handwaving ever come up with by alleged “scientists”.

[SuperLuminal]

Hmmm...
Another misleading headline...
More correctly: “Stellar Motions May Possibly Reveal Dark Matter Secrets”

Also, they may not... Clickbait “titles” run rampant in some fields of physics...
