: Well, no. Dark matter fails because it makes a prediction that hasn't
: panned out- no one can show an iota of this stuff that supposed makes up
6x
: the mass of ordinary matter.

Since it is postulated that it interacts normal matter only weakly,
pointing out that it doesnt' interact with normal matter (ie, show
an iota of this stuff) is not a "prediction that hasn't panned out".



It interacts just fine via gravitation, but we don't see its effects
locally. Stars don't move as if they were 6x heavier than we think they
are.
