But they could be worked in without breaking the theories. Dark matter
can't.

You mean like how the Standard Model predicts that neutrinos are massless
and yet we just found out that they are because of oscillation? You mean
that kind of perfect theory that can't possibly be contradicted, and
therefore gravitation is the one to go?


Gravitation? You mean the very theory whose failure we are discussing here?


You might as well try to salvage the luminiferous ether.




Do you have a pail of dark matter to show me?

No?

Scientists have precisely the same amount of evidence that Fermi had when
he postulated the existence of neutrinos


No, because Fermi had missing energy. He could perform an experiment and
say this is where the neutrino went, even if he couldn't see it itself.





-- an apparent hole in a
trusted and extremely successful theory (or principle) that is easily
patched with the supposition of a new type of particle we know little
about, has undetermined properties, and which has not been directly
measured or detected in any way, shape, or form. Yet you do not
apparently dispute the existence of neutrinos, but still dark matter is
contemptible and all current theory should be scrapped rather than succumb
to its temptations. Who's being scientific, again?


Me. Scientists had nailed down the properties of the luminiferous ether
too. A physicist can show me a neutrino. There is no evidence whatsoever
in any process in this solar system for the existence of dark matter.
There's supposed to be, what, 6 kilos of it for every kilo of normal matter?
