The Case Against Dark Matter
> Physicists do not like magic; when other cosmological observations seemed far easier to explain with dark matter than with MOND, they left the approach for dead.But how is "dark matter" not magic?To my untrained and pretty ignorant eye, dark matter looks like filler: the observation does not match the theory, and so, instead of looking for a better theory, we decided the observation was wrong and couldn't see what was there (and not just a little bit, but the greatest part of it).Isn't that the definition of superstition? Invisible forces that explain events, in mysterious ways?
