You’ll find the mainstream theory is based around Kepler’s laws and Newtonian mechanics not GR. GR is a very difficult theory to work with for 2 body problems or greater.

In fact GR is used to theorize rotation curves of stars in galaxies but is NON MAINSTREAM. The model attempts to use GR, (like MOND) to explain the rotation curves without the need of dark matter.

This is in complete contrast with your “GR cannot account for rotational velocities based on observed mass; therefore, dark matter must exist”.

Then go change this wiki article and cite your sources:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_matter

“Instead, its existence and properties are inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter, radiation, and the large scale structure of the universe. Dark matter is estimated to constitute 84% of the matter in the universe and 23% of the mass-energy.[2]
Dark matter came to the attention of astrophysicists due to discrepancies between the mass of large astronomical objects determined from their gravitational effects, and mass calculated from the “luminous matter” they contain; such as stars, gas and dust. It was first postulated by Jan Oort in 1932 to account for the orbital velocities of stars in theMilky Way and Fritz Zwicky in 1933 to account for evidence of “missing mass” in the orbital velocities of galaxies inclusters. “

Which is wrong because our understanding of gravity could be the culprit.

To put it into terms you will easily understand: you’re asking for an extra-terrestrial corpse when we’re only slowly finding out that there might just be life on Mars but saying everyone is wrong because we can’t give you a corpse of a little grey man.

You also seem to not know what a theory is. If a theory is consistently proven untrue and cannot accurately predict any real outcome, it’s not a theory. At all. A scientific theory is very different from the general definition of a theory.

And glossing over your articles is a given since that’s exactly how the scientific process works. They observed some unexpected things so they will reserve final judgements until the tests are repeated over and over to eliminate false positives and extraneous factors. By using it as some sort of proof, you’re literally doing it wrong.

What profound ignorance.
The rotational velocities are not even modelled on GR. The most common model is based on Keplers laws. The missing dark matter is calculated using the Virial theorem which is an extension of Newtonian physics.

Sorry, I don’t. They are not constrained by market forces. There is no reason to believe them over other highly accredited, very intelligent individuals. There is no benefit to humanity that will be realized by their pronouncements. People will not live longer. People will not live better. People will not be more comfortable after spending billions on this problem.

“yes, right now we do not have the knowledge or technology to detect it,”

Nice of you to acknowledge this. But then you go on to say:

“Saying dark matter is “invisible and undetectable” is seriously showing how little you know about science”

Actually, it shows how little you know. The CDMS project and the Xenon experiment have returned nothing. Simply pointing out at the stars and saying “GR cannot account for rotational velocities based on observed mass; therefore, dark matter must exist” is not proof of anything other than the fact that GR is a miserable failure.
