Dark Matter Meme BTFO

So what's the solution?

first the EM drive now this
2016 is just not the physicist year

Interesting if true. Now to see if it holds up to scrutiny

Physicists have claimed to have discovered a new "dark universe" similar to ours that can be detected with a new concept known as the "dark scale".

Am I missing something, or was this article written more than 10 years ago?

Haven't heard much

>They have created a formula that allows gravity to change continuously over various distance scales and, most importantly, fits the data for observations of galaxies.

Wow, it's fucking MOND again. There are dozens of modified gravities out there, they can all fit rotation curves because that's not hard. The data has been around for decades. In the case of MOND they just literally put in an arbitrary modification of Newtonian Dynamics so it would fit the data. These models cannot however fit the Bullet Cluster lensing without dark matter. No modified gravity which is simply a function of radius will ever explain the Bullet Cluster. Dark matter on the other hand naturally explains the Bullet Cluster.

The fact this is from 2006 and nothing came of it tells you all you need to know. What these two actually did was add a second fudge function to MOND so it would fit clusters (still not the Bullet Cluster, relaxed clusters which MOND previously needed hot dark matter for).

The Dark Matter "meme" will die when there is a model which even approaches it's observational success. This isn't it. And personally I don't find unjustified, arbitrary modifications to known laws any more satisfying than matter I can't see.

Are there any other observations similar to the bullet cluster?

Yes. Colliding clusters aren't rare by any stretch. The Bullet Cluster is one of the best examples because the the shock in the x-ray gas means you can constrain the kinematics.

Literally the most smug and at the same time retarded faggots in the science community.
