Re:Maybe there ain't no such thing as "dark matter (Score 1)

sorry, didn't have the links on-hand when I posted and just figured ppl would google for them. Here are a couple of good ones. http://www.catastrophism.com/texts/bruce/ http://www.catastrophism.com/texts/bruce/era.htm I bring up Electrical Discharge Theory at all just because too few ppl think to question basic assumptions. In this case, most everyone presumes there's "dark matter" just because most physicists and astronomers tell them so, but history tells us that physicists and astronomers have been wrong about a lot of things (think Ptolemy and epicycles). It's just human nature, it's rooted in uncertainty, yet humans presume to know things as fact when all they have are interpretations. A case in point is "dark matter". It is only an interpretation for the observable data, an interpretation backed by not that much data (I mean, we can't even see this stuff), and "dark matter" is certainly not the only interpretation for the observable data.
