>>13927941Intangible in the same sense that neutrinos are intangible, then yes. I don't quite understand why the idea that there could be particles like neutrinos, but even harder to directly detect, makes some people so butthurt. As for the anomolous astronomical observations, we are talking about decades of research, by different groups around the world, finding several different oddball things that make sense if you presume some sort of invisble matter is messing things up with its gravity, but is difficult to make any other explanation fit. (Most) Galaxies have stars in their outer portions rotating way too fast for the observed matter to hold them in the galaxy, gravitational lensing not matching the visible matter in some areas, a few odd dwarf galaxies were the rotation of the stars does act like it is just visible matter causing the gravity, while other similar sized galaxies have the above mentioned galactic rotational curve issue, and so on. Trying to handwave it away with "replication crisis" is just silly.
