' Far Out, man ! '
' Yeah, unreal, right ? '


Erik Verlinde argues that dark matter does not exist... ' Not to be ! '

SEA, making chilled out videos about all things space-related
Space, the Final Frontier, really, really large, for real.


The scale beyond comprehension, far out and far beyond.

So then, C² is not possible, because we have not yet measured light, particle limits, the mysterious dark energy.

Making possible warp speed travel, if your imagination allows the probability of infinite space, velocity.
Far out, deep thought, querying truth.
Hmmmn.

That's an imaginary whoopsie. It never happened. It's not real.

I used to think that Physics, among the various kinds of sciences, had the most certainty to it. The knowledge of gravity and the three other fundamental forces. The hierarchy of matter, from molecules down to atoms, from atoms into protons and neutrons, and the resolution of protons and neutrons into their component "quarks". The behaviors of photons. The constancy of the speed of light.

Compared to all that, the Darwinian Theory of Evolution seemed more speculative to me. More open to doubt.

Now I think the opposite. Physics has become a "house of mirrors", leaving the (modern) Darwinian Theory of Evolution as the most firmly established of the various sciences. The foundations underpinning Physics are now as arguable and "squishy" as landfill that liquifies during earthquakes, whereas the foundations of Evolution are as solid as granite bedrock by comparison.

I just want to chime in with one of my...Pet peeves; To me, the whole Dark Matter thing is big bunch of BS- They had a problem with gravity not being consistent over large distances, so they came up with "Dark Matter".....Solved that one problem, but created a number of other problems, so they had to come up with secondary concept; "Dark Energy"......and that has created other problems.

That alone would make me doubt it...But they have been trying for decades to prove "Dark Matter" with no success whatsoever!

Another scientist came up with a different hypothesis..."Gravity varies over very long distances"...he has tested his hypothesis a number of times and it has always worked out.

Dark matter.....Dark energy....next, they need to come up with "Dark magic"...

Evidence that once favored the "modified physics" hypothesis is now seen to be more consistent with the dark matter explanation.

The columnist concedes that it's not conclusive, but this reinterpretation of observational data from the Gaia satellite aligns with the idea that "dark matter" is real—a kind of matter that we cannot see or detect (to date), and that cannot be explained away as an illusion that arises from an incomplete understanding of the force of gravity.
