AI Thread Summary
A user requested the reinstatement of a deleted post that challenged the existence of dark matter, citing numerous papers that suggest alternative explanations involving baryonic matter and magnetic effects. The user proposed that gravitational lensing might be misinterpreted and could involve reflections from ice flakes influenced by magnetic fields. Moderators reiterated that all posts must align with mainstream scientific literature, emphasizing that the user's claims lacked reputable references. They highlighted that the forum rules prohibit unsupported theories, particularly those not recognized by the scientific community. The discussion underscores the importance of adhering to established scientific standards in forum contributions.

(Editors/Moderators) I would like my previous post put back up, it had been #17, and it detailed, although in laymans terms, so many of the things that have shot down dark matter just like later posts do even if theirs is in detail and quoting papers. I pointed to the HUGE number of papers that have all but done away with dark matter by way of finding previously undetectable baryonic matter. That and the effects of magnetism are overlooked in many cases as far as an attractive force. For example, the "Gravitational Lensing" which there have been problems showing up in it's accuracy and purported mass requirements to form: Question, has anyone considered that they might be reflections instead, with the light rays reflecting at a very shallow angle from microscopic ice flakes that are held to a flat position within the galactic cluster's magnetic field? Would this not give the same TYPE of shape. Could some be actual gravitational lenses and others be magnetically aligned ices?

However, your kneejerk reaction in pulling my post really should be re-looked at in the light of the weight of data you just had land in your lap.

@Steelwolf please review the forum rules that you agreed to when you signed up. All posts must be consistent with the mainstream professional scientific literature. The electric universe is not accepted by the professional scientific community, and your "religious mantra" comments were wholly inappropriate for this forum. Your post was not acceptable per the forum rules.

The weight of that data is approximately zero since you have not supported any of your statements with reputable references. As Dale said, please see PF Terms and Rules about what is and isn't allowed here.

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
