>>11206322Anon Dark Matter is just a bullshit guess so far. Basically what happened was using Netwon's laws of motion we got really good at testing and predicting the movements of astral bodies. We got bretty gud at plotting essentially exactly where any planetary body in a our solar system would be at any one time. As we got more powerful telescopes we started looking at other objects in our galaxy and even whole other galaxies. And for lots of the stuff we were pretty spot on with out predictions. Then we started doing the math on the galaxies as whole and were flumoxed. Because all our formulaes told us that essentially all the galaxies should spin apart and just have stars and groups of stars fly off in a bunch of different directions, but they didn't.
This is where the bullshit started. So scientists started what if there is other matter that is holding it together and so we turned our telescopes to where that matter should have been but didn't see anything. So then scientists said ok, what if the matter really is there holding the galaxy together but we can't see it. This is how the idea of Dark Matter got started. And this is literally all the evidence for Dark Matter. Does this mean the idea of Dark Matter is false? No. it is possiblly true. Does it mean there could be no other explanation that doesn't even involve the force of gravity that could explain why Galaxies don't fly a part? No, there could be another explanation. But all of it so far is just speculation and general bullshit.
