The current theoretical model for the composition of the universe is that it's made of normal matter, dark energy and dark matter. A new University of Ottawa study challenges this.

    Couldn’t the same be said for the proof of dark matter?

    They were able to make some observations fit with their theory with dark matter yes, but not all of them

      Generally for a new theory to be accepted, it needs to explain everything that the old theory did plus something more

      No, dark matter is actually a great explanation for lots and lots of observations; the only problem with it is that we don’t know anything about it other than that it is such a good explanation for these observations.
