Oh shit, they did detect them, and dude got a nobel prize for it. How did I miss that, lmao.

The effects of gravity have been observed, the cause itself has not. Prevailing hypothesis is gravitational waves which are being experimented to prove as we speak.
There are no observations of dark matter and few to none theories on how and why it exists. The only indication that it might exist is that our math doesn’t accurately predict or simulate how celestial bodies are moving, there are other theoretical explanations such as a better understanding of gravity or a larger celestial mechanism just outside of the observable universe supplying an external force.
If you stipulate we must accept Dark Matter as the one true answer then you must also accept any hypothesis regardless of evidence, which is stupid.
TLDR: You’re stupid.

Dark matter has never been proven to exist.

Matter describes what exists.

2·19 hours agoThey’re low risk to themselves and others, I’m more worried about cocaine fiends like Elon Musk and former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, but seeing the victims themselves as a problem to be solved is in itself a problem.
I think therefor I am, I guess.
Yes, it was.
Listen, power to women, and Vera Rubin’s work was amazing and she deserves every praise.
But nobody has ever proven the existence of Dark Matter. What’s proven is that our current mathematical models do not accurately represent the universe due to the way things move and effects of gravity, under our current understanding, requiring a large amount of mass that we have not observed.
Does that make sense? It could be that our models or understandings are just wrong, or it could be that there is some magical unobservable matter, but we don’t know. We haven’t proven anything.
The reason I think this is important is because we keep throwing money at bigger and bigger dark matter detection chambers, and we keep operating on the possibly incorrect assumption of dark matter while we create new theories.
