Quote:The key words being "if it's relevant." When it comes to dark matter, we don't know if it is relevant, and we have no indication that it's causing an issue anyway. Whence, then, comes the idea that it's a variable that needs accounting for?
So why make the assumption that it is a variable until we know more?
I guess the main sciences I'm concerned about are the two that have been observed to be highly susceptible to environmental influence, and that we still know very little about, epigenetics and quantum physics. With these sciences it seems it could be very negligent to form opinion without considering all potential variables including "dark matter" and "The Force"
