"dark matter" at the moment is just conjecture.

A real statement of affairs is that the outer spiral arms of galaxies are spinning faster than they should, and scientists have a hard time accepting that Newton's Law of Gravity maybe is not correct at these large distances.

The only way to explain the observations and keep Newton's Law of gravitation is to add large amounts of dark matter we cannot see.

Currently, our laws of physics are "bodged" to make them fit the current observations, as they have been several times in the past. It's only by new fundamental knowledge and understanding will these inconsistencies be cleared up.... and so on.

Vera Rubin, measured the speed of stars in rotating galaxies accurately enough to convince the scientific community. She observed that stars in spinning galaxies were all rotating at roughly the same velocity, no matter their distance to the galactic centre. This is in contradiction with Kepler’s law that describes the rotation of planets around the Sun.


but there seems to be just exactly enough dark matter around to make the above statement true. Does that sound kind of a lame (as in a real HOKEY) explanation to fit the observed results or what??? I think maybe this will be like another Milkelson Morely type of experimental discovery and it will take another Einstein type character to figure out exactly what's going on.

Whatever....

I think we all know the eventual outcome if a whole load of new currency is printed though, no matter what tricks are played in the shorter term that make things look like an improvement. -g-
