Not true. There has been no demonstration, no experimental evidence producing dark matter. Nothing from the LHC.
Something makes dark matter.
Maybe only our imagination. Researchers have been able to infer the existence of dark matter only from the gravitational effect it seems to have on visible matter.
Paleontology could only DREAM of having the proof modern physics has.
Dinosaur feathers are the paleontological equivalent of dark matter.
Skulls can provide a huge amount of acoustic information.

“Producing dark matter”… and you think that’s a valid question!? We don’t even know what causes dark matter, and your ignorant ass wants proof on what we cannot yet 3xplicitly define?
Shame on you, and shame on anyone who upvotes such a blatantly ignorant expression of doubt.

It was a factual statement, not a question. There has been no production or “demonstration” of dark matter.
I’m not asking for proof. It was claimed that dark matter proof has already been demonstrated. This is false.
You can’t shame science. The only reason a “dark matter” hypothesis exists is to shoehorn observed data into existing cosmological models.

You stated no fact, dummy. Dark matter has been proven to be an existing phenominon, not something we know what it’s made of, or we’d call itthat instead. It’s called “dark matter” BECAUSE it doesn’t interact with light. We can observe it indirectly, with actual, literal proof.
There are galaxies whos spin works fine with newtonian physics and those who do not. That is the most basic explanation of why we know it exists: because there are differences observed around the universe that can be explained if there is a form of matter that we cannot directly see.
I shame your pitiful ignorance that you repeatedly show off so proudly. Shame on you for daring to spread ignorance.

Indirect observation means we can’t see it, nor can we confirm it exists. Only our models of gravity imply dark matter exists when we input the data.
Put it another way. Show me evidence of dark matter that doesn’t rely on our (possibly erroneous) models of gravity.
when using existing cosmological models which we are certain are wrong because they don’t account for quantum effects.
Your superiority complex is borderline religious.
