This NASA handout image received in 2007 shows dark matter ring in a galaxy center. An international team of astronomers peering into the deep Universe said on Thursday they had mapped the biggest-ever structure of the enigmatic substance known as dark matter. (AFP/NASA-HO/File)

There’s no such thing as “dark matter.”
It’s a mathematical construct, nothing more.

Notice how this gets announced during the Democrat debates - to steer our attention away from the OTHER dark forces of the universe.

In 2008 we redefine:
Seasons ==> ‘Global Warming’
Space ==> ‘Dark Matter’

Well, something rather interesting is going on. We just don't know what it is and can't see it, so I guess "dark matter" is as good a term as any for now.

The Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) is a non-profit organization that operates a world class 3.6 meter telescope atop Mauna Kea, a dormant Hawaiian volcano rising 4,200 meters above the Pacific Ocean. The Observatory headquarters are located in Waimea (Kamuela), where CFHT has been part of the community since 1977. The CFHT team of some 50 people includes engineers, technicians, astronomers, and administrators.

Perhaps. But I have no problem accepting that there is matter out there that doesn’t generate light, e.g. rocky planets, burned out suns, whatever. When suns die out there is dark matter debris.

There’s no such thing as dark matter. Dark matter is a necessary add-on to the wrong idea that gravity and not electromag forces mainly bind the cosmos together.
