Is it drowning astronomy, there are so many papers on dark matter, dark energy, but i wonder if all this speculation is detracting true astrometry

Speculation in astrometry refers to the process of making assumptions or predictions about celestial objects without sufficient evidence or data to support them. It is often based on incomplete or inaccurate observations, leading to potentially incorrect conclusions.
Speculation can detract from true astrometry by introducing biased or incorrect information into scientific research, which can lead to false conclusions. This can hinder progress and understanding in the field of astrometry and may result in wasted resources and time.
Some examples of speculation in astrometry include assuming the existence of a planet based on slight deviations in the orbit of another planet, proposing the presence of extraterrestrial life without concrete evidence, or making predictions about the behavior of celestial objects without sufficient data.
Scientists can avoid speculation in astrometry by following rigorous scientific methods and relying on empirical evidence and data. This may involve conducting thorough observations and experiments, using advanced technology and techniques, and collaborating with other experts in the field.
It is important to distinguish between speculation and true astrometry because it ensures the accuracy and validity of scientific research. By avoiding speculation, scientists can make reliable and meaningful discoveries that contribute to our understanding of the universe and its phenomena.
