RKS:
Science is all about resolving contradictory observations.

Science is the observation, investigation and explanation of natural
phenomena, in that order. It is not the invention of dork matter
or black holes and then go looking for them.


RKS:
We share a dislike for the dark matter solution to contradictory
observations (observations that contradict theory), but this is more of a
question of *how* we resolve the contradictory observations. Do we retain
current theoretical underpinnings and explain new observation by appending
ever less solid theory to explain it? Or do we have another look at the
underlying model?

The later has been avoided by modern cosmologists for reasons other than
scientific ones. Either they don't have the imagination or are simply
incapable of generating alternative models, but either way it is a very poor
reflection on modern cosmology in general.

It is prudent to consider a model that does not require ever more patches to
staunch the theoretical leaks. Recalling Hoyle's model, which I also didn't
like, he proposed that a tiny amount of hydrogen would have to be generated
somehow to explain the apparent expansion of the universe. We now look at
the enormous amount of observation that require huge leaps of faith in the
current model and it is clear that the old Hoyle model was more robust to
the first approximation.

Dark Matter appears to explain observations of the bullet cluster. But it
fails for the observations mentioned at the root of this thread.

Thus the article questions dark matter. I wonder why, if you are opposed to
the idea of dark matter, you did not embrace these findings.

If you have a contradictory observation, change the explanation.

Does the nova really explode twice?
No, the light in your eye does.

Is there dork matter?
Only for dorks.

How many new and
more accurate theories evolved from observations that did not conform to
contemporary theory?

You tell me.


Of course there are others who, secure on their flat Earth in the middle
of
the universe, settle for shouting obscenities to all those who disagree
with
their world view...

And there are dorks who, secure on their flat Earth in the middle of the
universe, are more concerned with diplomacy than science.
