Big claims to grab clicks.
I'm not a fan of dark matter, I find myself liking MOND, but it's going to take a lot of positive results to even begin moving the needle, a problem the sciences have often exhibited, though mostly correctly.
When you consider how many astrological phenomenon have been discovered in the last century, or even the last decade, its not hard to believe there's a large lump of matter we simply haven't identified yet.
I'm more prone to believe the mechanics of physics are solved and certain volumes of mass are occluded than that physics is wrong and all mass is accounted for.
Btw, is there an explanation why my body mass is exactly as much as the visible mass?
Wasn't it that our system simply doesn't have a lot of dark matter?
