Re: Dark matter/energy - is it real?

: "Shawn Wilson" <Ikonoqlast@xxxxxxx>
: Neutrinos had an origin- they were created by the missing energy from
: reactions.

The missing energy (or momentum) which was inferred by the observed cloud
tracks of the known particles involved. This is, of course, just like
dark matter, which would be created by the missing energy which is needed to
explain the observed centripetal accelerations.

The route by which some energy is "known" to be missing is somewhat
different in the two cases. But not really so very different as all that.

: Except that our theories don't actually, you know, work.

The Pioneer anomalous acceleration? Oh yeah, "don't work", uh-huh.

: There are no direct observations of the properties of dark matter. No
: one has seen even the smallest iota of any

Just like neutrinos for many years.

: We have observations that all confirm our theories of particle physics
: and we have observations that contradict relativity.

Except of course that the theories of particle physics
are predicated on special relativity being true.

: I *do* have reasons to doubt relativity.

Yes? And those are?

: And if it were afftected by gravity it would be concented in the core
: of galaxies, not in halos around them.

Really? How do you know that? Is that sort of like Velikovsky knowing
that gravity must be wrong, since otherwise the atmosphere would separate
into layers by density?
