Which tells me that it’s an attempt to patch a fundamentally flawed underlying theory, which is what I’ve thought all along about “dark matter.”
Without disagreeing it could be more fun to let dark matter, matter which is invisible, exist and to have started life in a dark matter pond on a dark matter planet and to have evolved..... because then we could have an explanation for all the various otherworldly phenomena.......
Just rooting for scientific anarchy.....
