Oh snap! Take that, dark matter!

"Dark matter cannot be used to fudge them because in order for dark matter to predict galaxy rotation it must stay spread out and therefore it cannot be squeezed into little wide binary systems."

His blog is an interesting read.
Dark matter is dying. RIP.

    The majority of dark matter is thought to be non-baryonic in nature, possibly being composed of some as-yet undiscovered subatomic particles."

    Well, undiscovered doesn't mean undiscoverable. And they're slamming a lot of stuff together. Should be able to find these particles in particle accelerators, if they exist.

    Wish-washy, hand-wavy stuff. No predictive abilities, no scientific method. Just a kludge.

    They're predicting the matter is there. We already have that galaxy [soylentnews.org] that supposedly doesn't show the anomalous velocity differences. A few more examples like that should be enough to rule out theories like MONDO and quantized inertia.
