“The science is settled but they cannot even explain what dark matter is.”

I follow this a little. In regard to cosmology I don’t get the sense the physicists believe everything is settled.

There has been this huge divide over string theory with the mainstream academics still trying to push variations of the string theory with other physicists saying that it has been a decades long wild goose chase.

These guys are just scratching the surface. A few of them will say that and then others’ ego’s won’t let them say it.

Ditto. We know doctors that think outside the box about Covid were/are blackballed.

Shush. They now call pure conjecture “science”. Do not argue with your PhDed masters. You know. The same people who said that planets were a very rare occurance only 60 years ago.

Nor can they detect it. But it is necessary or else all their big PhDs are so much dog spit. So you are going to have your funding cut off unless you bow to the dogma. Much like the Popes did for centuries. Except they cut off your head instead of your funding. Their paychecks and prestige are at stake and they will destroy anyone who threatens it.

They don’t know what it is, that’s why they call it dark. It’s measurable, though. One of the possibilities is that we just don’t understand how gravity works over long distances, which they call MOND (modified Newtonian dynamics). So they admit that our knowledge of gravity may be incomplete.

Still running with the dark-matter scam because they can’t admit that they don’t know enough about gravity yet.

What I think too.

. Reminds me of the old cartoon with a blackboard full of diagrams or equation showing a deivation.
