>>12245116That's not how it happened, at all. People did consider alternative models where gravity or dynamics were modified, but these models have had far less predictive success. The smoking gun for dark matter cam in it's prediction of the statistics of the Cosmic Microwave Background, which independently measures the amount of normal matter and total matter. Dark matter models correctly predicted these features, and alternatives have still never explained this 2 decades later.
>Bad formulas that people refuse to admit are wrong.There's nothing rational about assuming the universe must be dominated by stuff you can see today.
