Which part of Phillip's "ruled out by evidence" do
you have trouble understanding? He's told you that
at least twice.

You keep trying to sneak your "dark stars as the
dark matter" in one way or another, but the evidence
has already eliminated them.


can you provide links to this evidence?


Back in 1996, the jury was still out (even then, Oldershaw was getting
plenty of responses to his ideas):

More evidence was in by the end of 2006, and your idea was looking worse:

Just a couple of months ago, the nail in the coffin with a link to a
paper which appeared in A&A:

I haven't seen you react to this paper at all. To my knowledge, no-one
has published a paper demonstrating it is wrong, whereas many papers
were published demonstrating why compact stellar-mass objects cannot be
the lion's share of dark matter.

Ignoring the evidence and touting the same hypothesis for decades
despite the evidence is not good science.
