What is dark matter?

dark matter is something we don't understand yet

>all there brainlets it
Dark matter is just that: DARK matter. It is regular matter, just too dark to see.

Dark matter is a meme -> it does not exist

that's not really better though, instead of adding invisible mass we add an otherwise unprovable additional term to the equation describing gravity, without understanding why or how distance affects gravity in any detail
we don't just need to know what's causing this, we need to know how

Dark matter is photons

You're welcome

A variable invented to hide the fact that the Standard Model of Physic's basic physical prediction model does NOT accurately reflect observed reality by an error margin of 95%.

Dark Matter is an invisible pink unicorn.

Whenever the standard model is wrong, we don't go and 'find' this dark matter, we take the sum of the error and simply claim that that much is "dark," and we're not just wrong.

All evidence for Dark Matter relies on the circular premise of it existing and being orders of magnitude more common than observable matter.

>95% of all matter is dark or the Standard Model is wrong.

So it's "just like regular matter" and 19 times more common than regular matter but we can't feel it or find it?

A new BILLION dollar industry of guessing
