Observations of galactic rotation curves give one of the strongest lines of evidence pointing towards the existence of dark matter, a non-baryonic form of matter that makes up an estimated 85% of the matter in the observable Universe. Current assessments of galactic rotation curves are based upon a framework of Newtonian accounts of gravity, a new article suggests that if this is substituted with a general relativity-based model, the need to recourse to dark matter is relieved, replaced by the effects of gravitomagnetism.

Well, this is what I’ve always said, but they told me I was crazy.
Oh, I thought this was another Stacy Abrams thread.
impossible. Science is settled and never allowed to be debated or challenged.
Can’t we get some Free Energy from this?
I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks. Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you’re being had.
Let’s be clear: The work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus.
There is no such thing as consensus science. If it’s consensus, it isn’t science. If it’s science, it isn’t consensus. Period. . . .
I would remind you to notice where the claim of consensus is invoked. Consensus is invoked only in situations where the science is not solid enough. Nobody says the consensus of scientists agrees that E=mc2. Nobody says the consensus is that the sun is 93 million miles away. It would never occur to anyone to speak that way. — Michael Crichton
Ping
You too?
Electrons are not baryonic matter as they are not composed of quarks. They are leptons as are neutrinos. I have pinged Swordmaker who has great info on the Electric Universe/Plasma theory
Trump’s fault! ;-)
“Well, this is what I’ve always said, but they told me I was crazy.”
You and me both.
Gravity is not a force.
Can’t do away with that much gravity. Massive bodies are always influenced, even over great distances, by other massive bodies.
Finally!
Gravity is a little bird tweeting high up in a tree.😁
They used to say I was crazy.
But I showed ‘em...I showed ‘em all!!!
Modelling this complex behaviour as a curved spacetime problem has yet to be done and is believed to be very difficult.
I guess Einstein's general relativity counts as a wee bit tricky.
Doing away with Dark Matter seems racist to me.
All these years, I thought I was the only one, fighting a lonely battle to convince big science of what was obvious to me, but which their blind eyes and feeble minds could not see.
They told me they had never heard such a crazy thing before.
Now I find out I was not alone. Suddenly it's like an entirely new world is opening up for me, thanks to you.
