I have read that if you get tested by several of these companies they will be all over the map as to what your ancestry is.

Funny how many anti-virus COVID deniers died of COVID.
Biologists don't consider viruses to be "life".
Let alone fragments of organic molecules.

He's just posting PSAs to promote awareness of the dark triad.
Has anyone ever set up two AIs, asked a question to get a conversation started, and then sat back and listened to them hash it out?
It's not like we're going to destroy any interesting archaeological finds or kill any life forms at this point.
That's what the Martians want you to think.
There is no "empirical knowledge" of dark matter. It's a hypothesis to explain observations of galactic motion.
I agree. But you're misinterpreting what I said. We are trying to obtain empirical knowledge of that hypothetical substance, but we haven't found it yet. What I said is that there isn't a deadline for finding it before you have to reject the hypothesis.
Here's a story I submitted a bit over a month ago. It's about another paper that looked at wide binaries, and came to the exact opposite conclusion.
It's also interesting because of the phenomenal number of sigmas the author offers for his result.
A new article analyzing the orbits of wide-binaries appears to be fatal to MOND — iff the results are confirmed.
Here's a high-level summary at universetoday.com
Here's the paper on arxiv.org (If, like me, you are not an astronomer you might want to skip down to the Conclusions section, which I fond pretty lay-accessible.)
From that paper's conclusion:
[certain observations are] consistent with Newtonian gravitation and MOG at 19[\sigma] confidence and rules out MOND at 16[\sigma] confidence
[...]
If these results obtained from the Gaia DR3 data continue in future investigations to exclude MOND as a correct description of the wide binary systems, then this can mark the end of MOND as a purely acceleration dependent modification of gravity.
But this certainly won't be the last word on it.
Note that he's decent enough to recognize that his results need to be duplicated.
Too may people's paychecks depend on Dark Matter for a useful public discussion.
Ah, yes! The grand conspiracy. Scientists made something up in order to bilk the public out of endless funding. And they're *all* in on it - no one will screw the pooch by fessing up. We wouldn't know about it at all if clever laymen hadn't seen through the deception.
Same thing with global warming - just ask anyone who doesn't want to believe it. And evolution, except that creationists are rather vague about what scientists are getting out of the scam.
Please, if you don't like or believe a hypothesis, offer some actual argument against it, or just ask some probing questions; don't offer a conspiracy theory.
At what point is the failure to find what you're predicting evidence that it's not there?
Never. When you hypothesize that something exists there's not a game show host that starts a timer and makes you retract if you don't figure out the details before the bell rings.
That's just not how empirical knowledge acquisition works. Stuff existed almost 14 gigayears before our species came around to detect any of it. There's probably stuff out there that we will *never* detect.
DM may be an incorrect hypothesis, but not figuring it out yet is not an argument against it.
No amount of careful planning will ever replace dumb luck.
