SSM Plebiscite

[LP]

You try the same shtick on kruddler, mbb and others. Lots of waffle, little substance. I will ask you again. One very simple question - where is the direct evidence for dark energy and dark matter ? Not implied, not inferred, direct.

Ahh, a plea to the cavalry.

You're just becoming defensive because you are out of your depth.

I can infer from your posts that you want visual evidence for something you can't see, plain language must mean a picture, but like the air you breath, the neutrinos streaming through you by the billions per second like you are not even there, the electrons powering your forum posts, the positron radiation curing your friends and relatives, your own consciousness and the perception of time as it passes, all are detected and measured indirectly in some degree it seems! You cannot show me a picture, yet they leave a trace, an effect or an influence like Becquerel's film!

If you hate the cosmological proofs, perhaps you can take a look at LUX, IceCube or SuperCDMS. All operating to narrow the candidate field for whatever dark matter is, no faith or pre-existing belief needed, just a question.

Who knows were this pure research will lead, nobody knows but we won't stop building new knowledge, and we won't have to resort to a mystical solution to sleep easy. Perhaps reality is as Dawkins states, as knowledge grows God shrinks, or perhaps it's the exact opposite!

But no matter what evidence you are presented, I suspect I know what your answer will be to any proof. "Were are the dough-nuts?"
