EDIT: Let’s cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We’re not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don’t believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I’m sure almost everybody has something to add.
Yes, I completely agree. Dark matter and dark energy are supposed to make up over 90% of the universe, yet we failed to detect them yet? No way! Those are just fill-ins, because our formulas are obviously not working that great on a grander scale.
This suggests the question why do most of the highly educated people who have spent their lives studying the question think differently? Why is the universe obligated to be made of something easy to measure and understand?
The universe isn’t obligated to us for anything, but we want to understand it and be able to make predictions. Right now we seem not to be able to do that.
Other way around, we propose them becuse we do detect them.
Nope. Dark matter or dark energy have not been detected, as of yet.
What would count as detection to you?
I would count as detection if scientists would say “we detected it”.
Well scientists have definitely detected it, and said as much
