I meant “visible” as in EM spectrum.

We can “see” the effects of dark matter.

I am well aware and I have already said as much.

I’m not sure why you’re missing my point.

Wikipedia:

“In astronomy, dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter that appears to not interact with light or the electromagnetic field. Dark matter is implied by gravitational effects which cannot be explained by general relativity unless more matter is present than can be seen,…”

Unless you’re aware of some case where dark matter has interacted with light or EM fields?

So we see these gravitational effects that either means general relativity falls apart under conditions we have yet to identify or there is more mass than we can detect with the EM spectrum.

I’m not arguing against the existence of dark matter. You’re misunderstanding my intent.

I’m not even arguing. I’m just pointing out that your original statement isn’t quite correct.

But Dark Matter is a great scientific theory. It probably will hold up. I can’t wait to see what we learn next!

Anyway I probably shouldn’t have even responded because it doesn’t matter in the big scheme of things and my thumbs are tired from arguing against bigoted assholes in other places (I’m on a phone) so… peace
