Is it possible that what we call 'dark matter' is instead soem combination of multiple things and not a singular 'matter'? Yup. I accept that there is most likely a cause for the gravitational phenomena, and although we haven't pinned it down exactly, what we dub "dark matter" seems good for now.
Therefore making my point "the average Joe (which you all are) isn't scientific, he accepts what hes told by the experts."
you admit that you..
•do not know for a fact that dark matter exists
•That dark matter has not been proven
•or dark matter could be something else entirely
Yet you still subscribe to the Theory because it "seems good for now".
Not very scientific, and contradicts your earlier statement
"We don't accept things based on the credentials of the person saying it, we accept things based on their truth value, which is often demonstrated through experiment and study."
That being said, I'm going to take a bit of a break.
The "best guess for now" is what science does, Huggable. It looks at the current evidence and constructs our best guess for what explains it. You've been hideously intellectually dishonest in this thread, and you show no desire to actually learn how science works. What a waste of time.
Pssh, take as long of a break as you want..
