Dark matter has gone missing because it doesn’t matter.
It’s not matter.

It’s momentum.

P=MV

Momentum is what it takes to balance out the Lorentz equations.

It takes various forms, the one we hear about most is the neutrino.

Y’all read it here first...

Big Dark Matter is hoarding it to drive up the price.

“We can’t afford a situation where dark matter speculators can reap millions while millions of American families get the short end of the stick. That’s not the way the market should work.”

The *obvious* scientific conclusion is:

You need a blacklight to see it.

“...whose gravity binds the galaxy...”

I thought the “Force” is what “...Binds the Galaxy Together...” - At least that’s what Obi-Wan said in Star Wars IV!

Has Dark Matter Gone Missing?

That's what happens when you put it in the clothes dryer. If they should ever find it, they'll probably solve the mystery of the missing socks too.......

The Hubbell and its successors

Successors (principally the James Webb) will finally be canceled to fund muslim outreach. Hubble telescope doomed without shuttle to repair it - sometime between 2019-2032. At which time, China will determine what the US does or does not launch into LEO.

Expect these things to happen in Obama’s second term - or in his third, but definitely by his fourth term when space will be something which happens in other countries and in the US will be the distance from one ear to the other.

USA enters space with a bang, but goes out silently - not even with a whimper.

If Obama gets his third term, he better not parade down Pennsylvania avenue.

It’s funny when they say there is simply no room for God in creation, yet they hop from theory to theory struggling to explain the basics of the observable universe.

I have always believed that there is a spiritual, unobservable counterpart to what is visible.

What if dark matter suppresseslife? In every direction we point our SETI ears - and nothing... no life - just the darkness...

What is truly funny is the lack of understanding of how science actually works. Without the self-corrections by proposing and testing new theories, the assumptions made cannot be relied upon as bearing truth. But for science's openness to testing and re-evaluation, we'd still be considering anaesthesia as the work of the Devil intended to nullify God's punishment in the form of pain, and burning witches at the stake or drowning them.

This is a common modern canard.

The scientific method relies on the moderate realism of the Middle Ages —particularly the promulgation of the dogma of “creation from nothing,” from which a direct line can be drawn through Buridan to Newton.

It’s not coincidental that so many great scientists were clerics.

So many great scientists were clerics and the more they sought after the truth, the more of religious superstition got torn down, leading to other consequences, good and bad. The future discoveries lead to further separation of science from religion, when observations and deductions could not be squared with their religious dogma.

The Time Argument is a big problem for those citing the "something from nothing" canard. For God to even perform the first act of anything, Time has to pre-exist God, so that there is meaning in that act of God separating it from the prevailing configuration. Lawrence Krauss has an amazing lecture on this First Cause topic:

A Universe From Nothing

I don't get why Time has to pre-exist God. I'm not sure I understand what that would even mean.

Besides that, even if it's somehow true and not reversed (God pre-existed time), how do you know one way or another with enough certainty to make such a statement as "Time has to pre-exist God"?

What is your authority for making that statement? You state it as if its an axiom, not the result of a chain of logical reasoning, so you must have an authority for that axiom. What is it? (Just curious.)
