I hate to be the one to break it to the writer, but dark matter has yet to be found anywhere in the universe.



Yes and no. There is substantial evidence that something with mass that we can’t see exists and makes up the majority of the universe. We don’t know what and it’s invisible aside from it’s effects to any methods we’ve discovered thus far to discover it, thus it’s "dark" matter. They can map where it is though by using gravitational lensing where it’s mass warps spacetime so that it bends light and we are able to see that.

Seems like that galaxy is the perfect utopia. There is no dark matter there to be ruining everything.

Sounds like someone follows the physics world that is about 10 years behind.

Yep, watched it on space channel...all theoretical physics and math, but it's an explanation for things they don't know. That's as deep as this fella is gonna go with it.

My astronomy question is where did the initial mass or energy come for the big bang? From nothingness? When they express this "god particle"...I'll be gone. For now, I'll take creation on faith.

Dark matter is a monumental fudge factor dreamed up by erroneous physicist in an effort to get their theories to balance. Gravity is the most misunderstood and unexplained force there is.
