Dark matter and dark energy have long seemed to me to be the equivalent of the aether in the 1800s—something made up to support untenable theories. We might be seeing the end of these imaginary matter and energy. Using data from the James Webb Telescope, Dr. Rajendra Gupta, a theoretical physicist from the University of Ottowa, has proposed that the universe is twice as old as the current consensus states. Moreover, if he is correct, it does away with the need for a rapid expansion of the universe and, consequently, dark matter and dark energy.

Dark matter is and has always been a kludge.
ReplyDeleteI have long found it interesting that the same scientists that denounce belief in God because His existence is scientifically unprovable turn around and want us to believe in their equally unprovable hypothesis. The most blatant example of this I've come across was from a theoretical physicist (I don't remember his name, unfortunately) disputing the anthropic principal (which is very strong evidence for a creator) by arguing that there was an infinite number of universes and we just happened to be in one where, by chance, the fundamental physical constants were conducive to life. Of course, we would have to accept his hypothesis on faith because there is no way to prove it.
