It starts out saying …
Now that’s a good question. One I've been asking myself (and you) a lot lately.In pursuit of dark matter, researchers are doing everything from burying vats of xenon deep underground to sending a balloon floating above the Antarctic. When will their creativity pay off?
The problem is that DM believers like Freese started from false assumptions and have never gone back and questioned those assumptions. Apparently, they do't teach that in physics courses any longer. And here is what’s really ironic, folks. Back in 2014, Freese suggested during an interview (https://www.symmetrymagazine.org/articl ... ine-freese ) that dark matter would be figured out in … guess what? … TEN YEARS ... dame as she was saying in the 1980s.“When I gave talks on this in the 80s, I was telling people, ‘Oh, we’re going to figure this out in 10 years’,” says Katherine Freese, an astrophysicist at the University of Texas at Austin. Decades later, we are still waiting. “It’s obviously a harder problem than we realised.”
And here it is almost 10 years later and I bet she still thinks the same thing. After all, she made a video in 2021 where she said “The bet of the community is that dark matter is on the VERGE of discovery. … snip … The feeling is that we are really, really close to figuring out what the bulk of the mass of galaxies is … snip … I’ll put my money on that.” Actually, she's putting YOUR money on it. So while we wait for the discovery she predicted 40 years ago, note that last year tax payers were forced to fund a study where she (and a few friends from Communist China) made this nonsense claim …

At the end of that paper, they try to sell more *research* , obviously by taking money away from people that will NEVER benefit.Dark stars powered by self-interacting dark matter
Just saying …
