There seems to be a lot of evidence for dark matter, that's how I understand it as an outsider. What it means is that there is a lot of consistency in observations, things add up, to the dark matter theory.
I usually agree with your understanding of dark matter/dark energy as placeholders for missing knowledge.
- Twisol 5y agoAh; I think we might only be disagreeing on terminology at this point, then. A physical "theory" is a coherent model that makes testable predictions in its own right, as in the "theory of gravitation". A hypothesis is an explanatory idea, like dark matter. There's definitely lots of evidence for dark matter, yes~!
