    the presence of “dark matter” and basically all other phenomenon that we do not have great explanations for are actually, literally and demonstrably real.

    Not true. There has been no demonstration, no experimental evidence producing dark matter. Nothing from the LHC.

    Something makes dark matter.

    Maybe only our imagination. Researchers have been able to infer the existence of dark matter only from the gravitational effect it seems to have on visible matter.

    Paleontology could only DREAM of having the proof modern physics has.

    Dinosaur feathers are the paleontological equivalent of dark matter.

    Skulls can provide a huge amount of acoustic information.

        “Producing dark matter”… and you think that’s a valid question!?

        It was a factual statement, not a question. There has been no production or “demonstration” of dark matter.

        We don’t even know what causes dark matter, and your ignorant ass wants proof on what we cannot yet explicitly define?

        I’m not asking for proof. It was claimed that dark matter proof has already been demonstrated. This is false.

        Shame on you, and shame on anyone who upvotes such a blatantly ignorant expression of doubt.

        You can’t shame science. The only reason a “dark matter” hypothesis exists is to shoehorn observed data into existing cosmological models.

            We can observe [Dark Matter] indirectly, with actual, literal proof.

            Indirect observation means we can’t see it, nor can we confirm it exists. Only our models of gravity imply dark matter exists when we input the data.

            Put it another way. Show me evidence of dark matter that doesn’t rely on our (possibly erroneous) models of gravity.

            because there are differences observed around the universe that can be explained if there is a form of matter that we cannot directly see.

            when using existing cosmological models which we are certain are wrong because they don’t account for quantum effects.

            I shame your pitiful ignorance that you repeatedly show off so proudly. Shame on you for daring to spread ignorance.

            Your superiority complex is borderline religious.

              Seriously, what’s with this dork? This whole chain is the “my dad’s bigger than your dad” of scientific disciplines.

                I thought we established that no-one understands what dark matter is.

                Then you claim it has been demonstrated yet all dark matter could just disappear with a different gravitational model.

                You refuse to provide other evidence of dark matter that is independent of gravitational models.

                Finally, why are you delivering your responses through a Trumpbot AI insult generator?
