Re: Dark matter/energy - is it real?

:: specifically, is inconsistent with there being N times the mass?

: "Shawn Wilson" <Ikonoqlast@xxxxxxx>
: If the solar system is secretly 6 times as massive as we think, then
: Pioneer isn't decelerating *nearly* as fast as it should and comets
: are on entirely the wrong trajectories. Planets would be in different
: orbits as well.

But if there is 6x the mass distributed uniformly, then
we'd expect these things to be just as they are.

See, nobody proposed the sun was 6x heavier.
You have to actually come up with specifics that have
something to do with the proposal you're criticizing.
