Dark matter is a big problem for the big bang. In 2012, researchers found no evidence of it. The same case was repeated in 2016, when they finally said that dark matter was dead.
The years following have also been troublesome for one of the big bang’s favourites that was supposed to contain 83 per cent of the universe’s mass. Its absence is a great loss for the big bang.
A study in 2018 also showed the there was not a whiff of dark matter.
The big bang has also got other problems, for instance a star is older that the universe.
And dark energy is an illusion, say its an illusion.
Juri Smirnov is vaunting for a different approach:
“One well known attempt to get rid of the need for dark matter is Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), which suggests that Newton’s law of gravity becomes irregular when the gravitational pull is very weak – as is the case in the outer regions of the galaxy. But this theory, although successful in many respects, hasn’t passed the same stringent tests as our standard model of cosmology, which includes dark matter.”
So the problem continues:
