99.99% Dark matter?

They should name it Obama then.

No matter how much complexity we think the universe has, it is always much more than we ever imagined.

I believe that, too. A million years from now when man has mastered space and time, he’ll still be discovering things about the universe that he never imagined. imo

correction: they infer that it’s composed of mostly dark matter because, with our current understanding of the universe, we can’t explain why it doesn’t flay apart.

so, we made up this thing called dark matter . . .

"This is a common technique to calculate the amount of dark matter in a galaxy. The brightness of the stars can tell astronomers how much visible mass is in the galaxy, but the rotation tells them the total mass. The difference tells them how much dark matter there is."

This "common technique" is what causes gravity driven orthodox cosmologists into their error that there IS dark matter. The fact is that after stars orbit approximately 60% of the way out from the center, ALL stars orbit at the same orbital velocity, regardless of how much farther away from the center they are. That flies in the face of all orbital mechanics and gravitational theory. There is also the problem that there is an an unexplained acceleration the farther you get away from the center. . . Which has now caused the orthodox physicists and cosmologists to create dark energy which is causing THAT.

However, all of this is accounted for in the Electric/Plasma Universe cosmological model and is even predicted, as are the shapes of all the various galaxies we see. — Electric Universe Ping!

What happens when a dark matter galaxy is pac-manned by a “normal” (?) galaxy - do they repel? or does gravity prevail?

They haven't got a clue. They've never seen any, don't know what it is, and don't know why it doesn't coalesce into a star. . . Etc. It's something magical they've had to conjur up to make gravity the motive force of the Universe and make everything work according to their theories. Without it, the Universe is unstable.

They claim that 97% of the Universe is dark and they don't know where it is, but it has to be there! So now they are dividing it into 27% dark matter (which they cannot see or find) and 70% dark energy (which they cannot detect or measure)! Magicical Abracadabra fudge factors added to their measurements just conjured in to make their math work.

Extra Credit—talk about gravity and dark matter

We owe a huge debt to Sir Isaac Newton for inventing gravity. Without gravity, we would all fly off Earth into space and be consumed by dark matter.

They’re doing it wrong. They have been since Copernicus:

100% agree. Dark matter is made up BS.

Seems lately science jumps from inference to hypothesis to theory to law without bothering to take a detour into a little place called "proof"
