Wat... "Like" implies preference. You're using the word "story" to imply someone pulled it out of their imagination. What they said was "we currently have no plausible theories that doesn't require dark matter". These theories have to be consistent with other theories and observations.
- xqcgrek2 4y agoplausibility is a bayesian prior Different people have different priors. For some dark matter is more unlikely.
- ggm 4y agoIf they don't agree with the hole in the other theories which use DM to reconcile observations, thats an issue worth exploring. If they just don't like the DM label on those holes, its a fine point. What do you want to call the emerging shape in theory which is a hole, in otherwise very fine, testable propositions?
- davrosthedalek 4y agoIndeed. That's why claiming that dark matter exists OR not exists is wrong. We do not know. The consensus is that it's more likely that it does.
