And then we lose those people completely when the "facts" change. Better not to call them facts in the first place.

- jjk166 3y agoThe facts don't change. Apples fell to the ground when we thought newtonian gravity was correct, they still fall to the ground now that general relativity is the accepted explanation. Theories are explanations of factual observations. The observation of the phenomenon we're calling dark matter is as factual as apples falling to the ground. The explanation is subject to change as we learn more, but the facts won't.
- bryanlarsen 3y agodotnet00 said we should call dark matter an "absolute fact".
- jjk166 3y agoAnd I concur. It's as absolute a fact as earth having a core.
