the presence of "dark matter" and basically all other phenomenon that we do not have great explanations for are actually, literally and demonstrably real.
Not true. There has been no demonstration, no experimental evidence producing dark matter. Nothing from the LHC.
Something makes dark matter.
Maybe only our imagination. Researchers have been able to infer the existence of dark matter only from the gravitational effect it seems to have on visible matter.
Paleontology could only DREAM of having the proof modern physics has.
Dinosaur feathers are the paleontological equivalent of dark matter.
Skulls can provide a huge amount of acoustic information.
