"Hubble confounds cosmology by not finding Dark Matter"

Using the Hubble Space Telescope astronomers have discovered a nearby galaxy that apparently has little or no evidence of dark matter. The unique galaxy, called NGC 1052-DF2, contains at most 1/400th the amount of dark matter that astronomers had expected. The galaxy is as large as our Milky Way, but it had escaped attention because it contains only 1/200th the number of stars.

Sounds like a racist galaxy to me

They're saying no Black Matter Lives?

Could Dark Matter Be God?

Excerpt:

Is it pure coincidence that physicists believe that dark energy is responsible for the expansion of the Universe — paralleling the way the self and its body tend toward weightlessness in the incipient absence of a focal (finite) image? Is it mere coincidence that dark energy is essential, specifically, to the accelerating nature of the expanding Universe – albeit on a timescale vastly larger than that within which the human brain? While this invisible “dark” energy surely does not represent the full nature of God, it may well play a role, an accelerating expansive role, in his overseeing mind.

Yea. Galaxies r jus lites on the canvass

How do we know they are far away

NGC 1052-DF2, contains at most 1/400th the amount of dark matter that astronomers had expected.

it was redistributed to a poor galaxy

(And yes, I think God has a southern accent and uses the term: "y'all")

And unlike the present pope also says ,"Bless your heart."

[circlecity]

Yep, Dark matter is just a phrase coined to deal with the fact that the data does not conform to the traditional cosmological model.

I haven't found it either and I even looked under the bed.

[Diverdogz]

My dog leaves plenty of it in the backyard.

With all the anti-science and anti-space comments on FR these days, it is no wonder that so many who used to provide thoughtful comments have left for more intelligent audiences on other sites.

Type 1a supernovae they are the standard candle. (I’m not altogether ignorant of these things. My original comments were boldly stolen from astronomers and astrophysicists. They know the limitations of the current knowledge and the lack thereof. )

[papertyger]

Did you think professional “science” and “space” entertainers were immune to the standard FR critical analysis?

[Vaquero]

See 28

[papertyger]

Not an argument.

[papertyger]

I love these posers trying to seem erudite who smugly make comments like “I guess you’ve never heard of the Drake Equations, huh?”

[PIF]

That comment just proves my point: “science” and “space” entertainers.

[papertyger]

That comment just proves my point: “science” and “space” entertainers.

Actually, it does nothing of the sort. However, YOUR comments DO prove you don’t know enough to distinguish between entertainment and evidence.

[Reily]

Of course they do!
Otherwise its dogma.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Voption. The speed of dark is at least one mile per second faster than the speed of light, because when you switch on the light, you never see the dark leaving the room.
