Faster than light? Someone with a big brain can help?

I think the point is that dark matter is merely theory stacking. The empirical data didn't add up on the big bang theory, so rather than going back to the drawing board on it, they shove in dark matter to make it work. The problem is there is no direct evidence of dark matter, and it relies on the big bang theory to be held up to begin with. That in itself is a circular reference, and it goes against scientific method to still call them supported theories at this point.

That is unless you just wanted to thread crap...

He's not saying he has the answers, he's just saying that they don't have the answers yet. And I agree. So many scientific theories are accepted as scientific fact. It annoys the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- out of me when someone uses scientific theory to "prove" a point.

Sorry, but your reply shows a marked lack of knowledge of the theories in question, the process, and the scientific method itself. But for reference;

Like the Theory of Gravity, quantum mechanics, etc...

I don't remember no dark matter being talked about in the good book!

True. But it didn't mention color TV and microwave ovens either and I'm pretty sure they exist...
