High School Does Local Gravity Override Dark Matter in Galactic Rotation?

[Viopia]

Is anyone saying that string theory is empirically verified? No. So what's your point? Besides, this thread is about plain old classical gravity. Physicists may be wrong when it comes to untested models like string "theories", but gravity - Newtionian and Einsteinian - has been tested and observationally verified on so many levels that putting it's validity in doubt is very unreasonable, to say the least.

OK. More to the point what empirical evidence is there for "dark matter"?

...the general problem with advancing science isn't coming up with new ideas. It's coming up with new ideas that aren't obviously wrong to anyone who knows anything about the topic.

It's a pity you're banned, and that this is off-topic. Else I would have you look up the Bullet Cluster.
