No dark matter?

[Wormhole199]

I'm sorry, but you can't use string theory to lend weight to the Quran.

To start with the comparison is ridiculous and secondly, string theory has yet to be proven and at the moment remains firmly fixed in the realm of metaphysics.

No need for String Theory. General relativity predicted gravitational lensing, that is, the gravitational field generated by a galaxy causes the light passing through it to bend (change direction). Dark Matter does not emit any light but we can still map its location by using gravitational lensing, that is, by detecting where light is bending in places where it shouldn't.

Since Dark Matter does not emit any light then we have to trace the light from the background galaxies. From the distances and the angle of lensing we estimate the mass of the Dark Matter. No angle no Dark Matter.

But this is exactly how the Quran challenges non-believers to find the seven superimposed heavens, by detecting where light gets bent in places where it shouldn't. Learn more: Seven Heavens in Quran
