Do you realize that the Bonneville Power Administration (or Authority?) way overproduces electricity and could run at much higher capacity full time instead of turning off generators at night? Have you heard the hum of powerline wires? Can you imagine so much excess electricity crammed into the wire not demanded anywhere that it tries to arc into thin air?

"You wouldnâ(TM)t have different galaxy rotation curves for the same visible matter distribution if it was just our understanding of gravity that was wrong."

What if gravity is not the primary force driving orbits? How do you know that electricity is not playing a greater role, or some other force your sensors are too blunt to detect?

Why do you have so much of an emotional investment in demeaning other theories, rather than working on the parts of your own theory that you know don't quite make sense even to you, deep in your heart of hearts?

"The dwarf galaxies of the Fornax Cluster are subject to the gravitational effects of the cluster environment. In the standard (Newtonian-gravity) dark-matter models, the dwarf galaxies are surrounded by a dark matter halo, so they should be mostly shielded from these gravitational forces. However, many of the Fornax dwarfs are observed to have distorted morphologies, which highly contradicts the LCDM-model expectation â" as the results of this study show."

Is it emotionally tiring, having to explain over and over again why your emotions are the only possibly correct emotions, as proven by science, that you carefully cherry-pick to support your emotion, which is invisible to you like the air you breathe, but oh so painfully obvious to the rest of us?

But why does it cherry-pick its locations?

"Dwarf galaxies are supposed to be the most dark-matter dominated galaxies in the Universe. At least according to the standard Einsteinian/Newtonian-gravitation and dark-matter based LCDM model of galaxy formation (Battaglie & Nipoti 2022). In this LCDM model, the dark-matter-dominated dwarf galaxies must, if they are satellite galaxies, be distributed spheroidally around their host galaxies. But several studies focussed on the dwarf galaxies in the nearby Universe (the Local Group and its vicinity) have already shown that the LCDM model fails to explain many of their observed properties, in particular, that most of them are in disk-like configurations around their host galaxies (Pawlowski 2018; Pawlowski & Kroupa 2020; Pawlowski 2021; Pawlowski 2021)."
