    Don’t get too excited, this is a pretty fringe theory that doesn’t really have experimental evidence. They were able to make some observations fit with their theory without dark matter yes, but not all of them. The tired light part in particular has a lot of contradictions with observation that they don’t explain.

    So interesting, but far from definitive.

      Couldn’t the same be said for the proof of dark matter?

      I’m a workshop kind of guy that enjoys space documentaries. For my part, I see “dark matter” as a known hole in our current understanding of cosmology, and I bet when we figure out how it does actually work it’ll lead to some really cool TV shows.

      These type of comments always throw me through a loop.

      Scientist:

      Makes hypothesis, does analysis, writes paper, and presents work for other academics to review.

      Lemmy poster:

      While I would certainly like to say I understood any of this. This post has not met any rigorous standard of debunking the researchers findings.

      It’s fine if you have knowledge on this particular subject but it kinda seems like you’re just throwing shade.

        Thats not what the posting claimed to be. You missunderstand. Either intentionally or just as a fact.
