summary

This article challenges the widely accepted concept of dark matter, suggesting that it may not exist at all. It discusses the ongoing search for dark matter, which has been undertaken to explain the discrepancies between the observed behavior of galaxies and the predictions of gravitational theory. The article highlights some recent studies that have failed to find any evidence of dark matter particles, and presents alternative theories that could potentially explain the observed phenomena without the need for dark matter. It concludes by acknowledging that the existence of dark matter is still a subject of intense scientific debate and that further research is needed to reach a definitive conclusion.
