Re:Does Dark Matter exist? (Score 1)

There are physicists who express similar dissatisfaction with this theory. Perhaps you'd be interested in Philip Mannheim's opinion at the University of Connecticut. I won't try to paraphrase his work, since I'm only a physicist-in-training, but he teaches an astrophysics class in which he addresses this problem. My take: If the theory doesn't work witht the data, it's because the theory is wrong--you don't go invent something just to satisfy the theory. Likewise, "laws" are theories we really like while the non/existence of something is absolute (well, generally). There are various takes on the evidence for dark matter, but altogether my understanding is that it's virtually undetectable (no E&M interaction)--so it can't be disproven, only "not yet verified". see for more info
