The Spin

Dark matter is nothing more than a scientific mirage that physicists have been chasing for decades. New theories show that wobbly spacetime fluctuations can explain galactic rotation and cosmic expansion without needing invisible matter that's never been directly observed.

Scientists have finally captured the first direct evidence of dark matter using NASA's Fermi telescope, detecting powerful gamma-ray radiation from colliding dark matter particles. This observation matches theoretical predictions perfectly and marks humanity's first glimpse of the invisible substance.

Metaculus Prediction

There is a 52% chance we will know what Dark Matter is before 2050, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
