Why do people still waste time and money on these post hoc theories of Dark Matter / Dark Energy, which were invented to explain anomalies in the conventional cosmological model like galaxy rotation curves?
We neither have direct evidence nor do we not have alternative explanations - to the contrary. They shouldn't even qualify as scientific theory, since they are neither falsifiable, have no predictive power or are supported by any independent experimental confirmation.
Oh,there are presents under the Christmas tree, it must've been Santa Claus!
They are patchwork "solutions" at best and by far not the only explanation for what's happening.
It's the aether rehashed.

- jandrese 2y agoPeople have been looking everywhere for a better solution than Dark Matter and especially Dark Energy for decades now without success. They may hate the theories, for good reason, but nothing better has materialized yet. Modified gravity always seems intriguing until you slam in a counterexamples for example. This is a lingering sense that we have missed something big.
