- mmusson 5y agoDark Matter is an unfortunate term. The intent was simply to say that observations did not match predictions in a way that seemed to imply that a galaxy had more mass than it seemed from existing measurements. That wasn’t even so controversial at first because measuring the visible mass of distant galaxies is a hard problem.
