ESO - eso1217 - Serious Blow to Dark Matter Theories?
"The most accurate study so far of the motions of stars in the Milky Way has found no evidence for dark matter in a large volume around the Sun. According to widely accepted theories, the solar neighbourhood was expected to be filled with dark matter, a mysterious invisible substance that can only be detected indirectly by the gravitational force it exerts. But a new study by a team of astronomers in Chile has found that these theories just do not fit the observational facts. This may mean that attempts to directly detect dark matter particles on Earth are unlikely to be successful."
Such a fine line between ecstasy and self-satisfied.
Some might speak of another nail in the coffin of big bang. Hardly. That theory has always been more like the undead than a real body that could die. Best Bob Hope movie line - YouTube It was never supposed to be an actual quantity, but a ghost story we tell to scare the kids.
Like Government accounting. Like Al Queda. A mental construct, Neo.

Better yet. A policy. An incentive or tax credit to balance out the objectionable part of a free market, namely the free part. Monty Python Communist Quiz sketch - YouTube
Or, carbon is black, then dark like carbon, or the purchase of carbon credits. A place to put your money where your mouth is, even if you are talking absolute hogwash.
Or an indulgence. Eliot Sptizer was a moron. If only he had bought the indulgences or "John" offset credits. http://www.fredstates.com/images/239988392v3_240x240_Front.jpg Dark matter buys back your soul from oppressive truths that fly in the face of orthodoxy.
So, there was never anything to find. There is no reason to look for dark matter. It is an idea, which is very pretty to think. If enough people think it, the prettier it gets. And the ugly inconsistencies go away. All you do is dumb it down a bit. Even if being dim has no mass.
