Re: No black holes? One scientist thinks so...
Dark matter is one explanation for a mathematical equation about how much matter is supposed to be in the universe--which doesn't add up. Adding dark matter makes it add up. It is supported by the absurd rationale that 'dark matter is too small to see/measure', so it could exist (we'll never know).
And as for that "huge body of evidence" for black holes...that's exactly the entirety of the evidence that I have found. "everyone knows" isn't science, it's social acceptance.
Scientists get to saying some really whacky stuff -- like Schroediger's Cat. I think Schroediger was kidding, that he was making a cynical joke for people to see the obvious fallacy. But everyone took him literally because he's famous. It backfired, and people ran around going "the cat in the box is 50% live and 50% dead until we open the bag" If I put a camcorder in the box with the cat, does the cat suddenly stop being 50% live and 50% dead? What if instead of a camcorder, it was just a rock? I could take the temperature of the rock, and determine when body heat stopped affecting it...
