Finally, this is being admitted. The inability of gravity alone to hold the spinning structures of the universe together has been known for a VERY LONG TIME.
The scientific community has known this but kept it out of mainstream conscious and basic education because it contradicted the current best model. Can’t have people challenging the science, we might start asking questions they don’t like.
Post Modern Science is more cult and religion than a pure pursuit of knowledge and understanding. One must believe in the approved tenants to move up the hierarchy.
Especially in life sciences. They involve everything we touch and use, thus constituting effective control points for execution of regulatory racketeering.
This is where I am enjoying using AI to find the bogus lynchpins betraying the ignorance underlying prevailing "scientific" conclusions. Often it takes interacting with two LLMs simultaneously on separate tabs, lest they get suspicious and start trying to turn the exchange.
“Finally this is being admitted.”

The discussion of this notion of ‘dark matter’ and its many possible influences is not new. My university Astronomy 1 class played with these concepts. That was in 1969.
These new ideas and observations are important. (If, at any rate, you actually consider astronomical research important.)
