Could Jupiter’s moon Ganymede be a vast dark matter detector? Some evolutionists suppose it could  be.

But dark matter is a farce.

Jupiter’s moon Ganymede could be a vast dark matter detector, and upcoming space missions might be able to spot distinctive dark matter craters on its ancient surface.

Physicists searching for dark matter usually look for tiny, extre, smely light particles that interact weakly with standard matter, requiring large and well-insulated underground detectors. Another kind of dark matter particle could instead be very large – from the size of basketballs to asteroids – but also vanishingly rare, interacting with normal matter extremely infrequently. To detect large dark matter particles, you would need a detector the size of a moon or planet to make up for their sparsity.
