Physicists did not invent dark matter and dark energy to rescue their theories — they would much rather the answer were something cooler, and the data will not allow it.
I tear my hair out when people who are not physicists accuse physicists, like you say, of losing the plot because they need dark matter and dark energy. I don’t want dark matter and dark energy; I want something much…

Dark matter need not be one simple thing: a fraction of it may radiate its own dark light and collapse into a thin disk.
The interesting thing is that if some of the dark matter does radiate, and I like to call it dark light because it’s light that we don’t see, but dark matter would see. It could radiate that and then it could perhaps…

It is dark matter, not ordinary matter, that drives galaxy formation; ordinary matter just comes along with it.
In fact, dark matter is in some sense more important because it can collapse more readily than ordinary matter because ordinary matter has radiative forces, which makes it hard to collapse on small scales. Actually it’s…

Calling dark matter and dark energy invented names for physicists' ignorance gets it exactly backwards: only extraordinary precision let us see that they are missing.
And so I would say, yes, we are just giving proxy names to things we don’t understand, but to dismiss that as some kind of, “Oh, they just don’t know…” It is actually quite the opposite.

There was no "Dark Ages": the term described gaps in the surviving sources, and its popular use is not a live scholarly position but a settled error.

Every founder falls into a structureless period after a company ends, and it is a dark place that seems to offer freedom before it starts to feel permanent.
