Comments here are weird. Dark matter is just as accepted by the scientific community as anything else. There's a ton of evidence for it and yet redditors know better than all the world's best astronomers? Weird lol

We've even already gone through the process of predicting a dark particle that does not interact with the strong or electromagnetic forces to make an equation add up, and then waiting 35 years to be able to have a single detection of that particle. Neutrinos are "dark matter", we just don't call them that because we know that they're too hot and light to be responsible for the features of the universe that the term "dark matter" was coined as a placeholder name for.

Man no kidding. Did Joe Rogan just do a podcast or something about this? Weirdest thing to take a strong opinion on.

DM articles bring out the crazies: the dark intellectual web type people who think being against the "mainstream" is an answer to all questions.
