I believe that God gave us the science, curiousity and intelligence to one day conclusively prove that God does not exist.

More evidence that dark matter DOESN'T BLOODY EXIST, and they should look behind the curtain!

[* Can we say we've proved protons exist? Now we know they're just tightly bound bags of quarks, don't we have to admit that "proton" is just shorthand for a particular arrangement of other things - the things that actually exist (to the best of our models). There's no "proton" field, for example (and although there never was in those terms, our views from 70 years ago were expressible in quite similar terms (e.g. conservation of baryon number)), so there's no *thing* /the proton/.]

But where IS the mathematical prediction? Show me the formula for how much dark matter each galaxy needs for it to stay 'together'. From what I've seen there is no formula, just random guesses until the correct amount is arrived at for EACH galaxy looked at.
McCullough HAS that formula, with QI
http://physicsfromtheedge.blogspot.com/ [blogspot.com]
that predicts much more than dark matter does (even the emdrive that NASA and others says IS real)...what does dark matter predict?
Dark matter was invented out of the blue just to save GR, and they had to come up with all these rules for it to follow because there was nothing else they could do.
At least QI follows the scientific method, and has a formula to follow and use and is predicting things that ARE known....
...I dunno: I'd rather put my all my marbles into QI than dark matter ANY day. It may not be correct either, but it's a HELL of alot more scientific.
Look at QI, look at the predictions, look at how closely the math fits what is observed: it left me much happier mentally than the garbage that is DM.

Can't afford to buy it: if you see the formula can you post it?

That inconsistency is actually an indication that there is something like that rather than an alternate theory of gravity. MONDO and quantized inertia, for example, can't vary from galaxy to galaxy.

No, it DOES vary, just within the mathematical formula: dark matter varies in a non-formulaic way, as in you have to guess.
Not very scientific.

Ummmm, you were talking about QI not varying:
I was saying the RESULTS from the QI formula DO vary as in by what is inputted into the formula. The formula does NOT change as in MOND which has 'fudge' factors (can't come up with the correct word).
Dark matter numbers vary as by the results of the GUESSES, because there is no formula to use for dark matter.

Look, dark matter is to (astro) physicists what a god is to those who are religious. It cannot be seen yet it affects everything in a profound and overwhelming way.
Do not be fooled by dark matter any more than you wish to be fooled by <insert your deity of choice here>.

If that were really so, then religion wouldn't be a big deal. One doesn't make fancy buildings and gather once a week in them just to make sure dark matter is happy. It's be more like "I don't know why my car goes. Must be God. Hmmm, I wonder if I can go faster, if I put more God in it?"

God exist for the scared: they attend church because they want something from God or they fear God will do something to them if they don't.
The unknown frightens them and God is the hedge in their bet.

Doesn't sound even remotely how dark matter is treated which is my point. If we were treating God like we were treating dark matter, then someone would be figuring out how to get more God into the combustion chamber for better performance.

I think the better example is epicycles. It's adjustments of theories that we know should have a better explanation.
