Or is it similar to fairy dust? It isn't observable, or measurable in any way, but is simply inferred(kinda like God). The explanation is that since "this" happens, there must be some unseen force working. I know I hear a lot of people mocking the notion of God by comparing Him to a fairy in the sky, but isn't it a double standard to believe in something simply because someone says it has to exist, without any real proof or evidence? It seems to me that the only real difference is that one actually cares about you and how you live, while the other is inanimate and therefore easier to handle if you subconsciously don't want responsibility or accountability. I'm not saying dark matter is God or anything, and I don't have a problem with it existing, I am simply saying, why aren't you just as skeptical when it comes to dark matter as to the idea of God?
