      Multiple independent observations lead to very solid evidence that dark matter exists. It’s a question of what comprises dark matter.

      I personally like the solution of primordial black holes. Recent evidence from LIGO/Virgo and the Webb telescope are strengthening the possibility that most if not all dark matter is PBH.

      This is a totally separate consideration from dark energy, though, just to be clear

      My investigation of dialectics in science has led me to understand that the whole big bang thing is likely wrong and that space-time curvature as described was basically a thought experiment. It led me to then believe that black holes don’t have singularities and don’t exist below masses of around 3 solar masses. This is all supported by evidence, but I’d rather discuss this in DMs if you wanna know more. Stuff like the precession of mercury, the shape of spiral galaxy arms and dark matter/energy can be explained by fluctuations in the quantum field and electro magnetism in spinning stars, which as far as I know was kind of neglected in galaxy modeling since thoses effects are poorly understood.
