Dark Matter is in the galaxy. We are in the galaxy. Therefore Dark Matter could be here, too.

OK, MY "Galaxy far, far away" comment was a wrong choice since it is claimed that this dark matter stuff is here in the Milky Way.

However, You would think that if this dark matter stuff can effect the rotation of whole Galaxies if it were present around here it would be effecting the rotation of the planets of the solar system, So unless those perturbsions/anomalies in Uranus and Neptune's orbit that lead to the discovery of Pluto was/is caused by dark matter there isn't any around here.

Personally I think they aren't measuring the rotation of the galaxies accuratly. Considering it takes upwards of 250 million years per rotation and we have only been seriously looking at galaxies for a few decades so we have a lot to learn.

The HI-line is to 20th and 21st century what the Heliometer was to the 18th and 19th.
