minus-square@Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•2 months ago The gravitational lens distortion of distant galaxies is basically impossible without dark matter. … using our current model of the Universe. Dark matter, and dark energy in particular, were introduced to make existing models fit the data.

minus-square@Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•2 months agoI have no problem with the scientists searching for better models. It’s the scientists talking about dark matter like it’s as established as an electron whereas dark matter and energy is more like aether. The entire evidence for dark matter (and dark energy) has been generated by matching data to models we are sure are incorrect (quantum gravity).
