Astronomers Hoped to see Evidence of Dark Matter

They can't even agree on a single Hubble constant figure because the Planck data gives them different results than SN1A data sets with over five sigma certainty no less. In short they "discovered' (5+ sigma) that their model is internally self conflicted and they don't have a clue how to fix it, even with 95 percent metaphysical fudge factor to work with. Even the fact that their beliefs and claims are internally self conflicted isn't enough to falsify their beliefs.

Yes, the mainstream astrophysics world is full of contradictions.

One group says DM must be super heavy.

Another says it must be super light.

Then you have groups drawing conclusions like this …

They are blind men examining parts of an elephant.

Their findings—due to be published in Physics Letters B in March—radically narrow the range of potential masses for Dark Matter particles, and help to focus the search for future Dark Matter-hunters.

Astronomers Hoped to see Evidence of Dark Matter Particles Inside Betelgeuse. No Luck

These results don’t rule out the existence of axions altogether. It just means that if they’re ultralight, then their ability to transform into photons and vice-versa has to be very small. In fact, these results using Betelgeuse alone provide constraints on this ease of transition that are three times greater than any laboratory experiment.

So we’ll keep on hunting.

As Michael says, no experiment is going to rule out dark matter in the eyes of mainstream astrophysics.

Because it’s not a science anymore.

It's a religion based solely on belief.
