It’s deduced from looking at the speed of stars around a galaxy, they all go the same speed which doesn’t make sense if you think of anything moving in a circle the speed increases as you increase the radius. But you look at stars around a galaxy they go at the same speed regardless of the distance from the center, so…

The neutrino was about conservation of momentum looking at only 3 particles whereas this is a much larger system with way more complexity, I see your point though. I always viewed the dark matter hypothesis as a refusal to rethink the way gravity works on large scales, it seems lazy for some reason but I’m not a…

I’m more bummed that getting hit with dark matter doesn’t give one superpowers (in this universe, anyway).

Personally, I feel dark matter and dark energy do not exist...we just don’t fully understand gravity. I could see us finding gravity works in different dimensional space, is repulsive in certain circumstances, or some combination of the two.

I’ve always been really skeptical about dark matter... The predicted speed of stars around a galaxy isn’t consistent with our theory of gravity so someone went and assumed the current theory of gravity was absolutely correct and assumed it was the right call to cling to Einstein/Newton by assuming a particle that we…

I also found the message powerful, even though I thought some of the jokes from other characters came off as crude (“eat a salad” is literally the last thing Thor’s mother ever says to him, that’s rough). But to me the ultimate message was, sometimes people gain weight and sometimes it’s got to do with depression, but…

What about those of us who actually had measles as a child and are relying on the immunity we got from that?
