I watched some videos on dark matter, both for and agianst. The thing I noticed is most of the time the reason it's proven to exist is because you need it to exist for the univers to make sense. (lemmus.org)

I post the detection of a alleged Dark matter particle, because it's so vague, 1 data point per a test. Something is there but I don't think it's dark matter in the way it's explained now.

Might it just be possible that because we built everything around this one theory that we can't get physical proof that we are missing multiple different reasons and even fields.

I feel a lot of science has bogged it's self down with theory and maybes for decades and decades now with no proof. And with the paper printer of Universities, even old or disprove theories keep getting posted.

I am not denying the existence of some kind of matter but everything is so varied I don't believe just dark matter exists. And Science just keeps bogging it's self down in theories and running around in circles

Wanna see a opinion or someone disproving me.

I need to go to bed so I won't be answering if people have some questions in couple of hours.

I think it sits in a place similar to where "the ether" used to sit. Similar because lots of ppl take that it is an actual known thing. Dissimilar b/c those who do work around it understand it's more like, as you've found, stuff implied from all we've learned regarding physics to date. Without it the math kinda falls apart.

Then you might ask "well, could the math we use now actually be wrong?" I think the answer to that comes back around to "but the math we do have actually works really well; throwing that out is very hard to do".

Personally I think it needs new naming; calling it anything other than a question adds bias that may end up wasting time.

    This is extremely subjective. It works well for whom? At what?

    It works ok for certain things, especially things on our own scale. Not so much for the universe, etc.
