I've been joking about this for years. Whenever they couldn't explain something they added "dark matter" to the equation.
A galaxy spinning in the "wrong" direction? Dark matter. Planets not "behaving as they should"? Dark matter. Galaxies "moving slower than models suggest"? Dark Matter.
Anyway, this is another theory to be debated.

Maybe there was Dark Matter, but it was all destroyed by Climate Change.

We don’t know how it happened so we just make shiiite up, like “Dark Matter”.
Why not Unicorn Farts?
Would be nice if they just said, this is what we know, but this other stuff we don’t, but here’s some ideas about stuff we are working on.

The fabric of the cosmos, as we currently understand it, comprises three primary components: ‘normal matter,’ ‘dark energy,’ and ‘dark matter.’ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
You mean they finally figured out just who and what both Fauni Willis and Letitia James truly are?
I hope this does not segue into fascist dark matter pu$$y whipping southern gentlemen.
I mean either the dark matter is, or it is not!
Make up your minds!

Exactly right. Kinda like "junk dna"..."We don't know what it does, so it shouldn't be there."

dark matter constitutes ~27% of the universe, ordinary matter <5% and ~32% dark energy

So if dark matter does not exist, what of dark energy? The theory, as written in the article, does not account for dark energy.

A study put out by science deniers? Being taken seriously?
To: yesthatjallen
Excellent points. It is sad what has happened in Science these days. Because of the huge money involved these ‘pseudo-scientists’ have changed the scientific method to, “Come up with a theory and manipulate the data to fit it”, instead of experimenting with the data that you have and never make a conclusion until after it is tested.

I was hoping to get superpowers from dark matter. Guess that idea is shot. Now I have to focus on dark energy.
You’ll all know when I succeed! The whole world will know! Hahahahaha!
