guess u haven't heard of the variable gravity theory? moron alert?...its either dark matter/energy, variable gravity or something else...

i'm thinking the black holes at the center of galaxies (which we really don't know jack about) cause some sort of unexplained force that causes everything to spin at the same rate...

care to add to this insightful discussion?...
galaxies defy gravity? everything spins at the same rate?
yes...the stars on the outside of galaxies spin at same rate as the ones closr to center...thats how dark matter theory

I'm not touching those subjects, I just think it's weird calling Newton a moron, considering the time he lived in, the tools available and the general understanding of physics before him.

Seems there must be a reason why we know more now then in the 17th century.

What if dark matter is really nothing more than really advanced civilizations all with Dyson spheres around their particular star?

That could perhaps also account for the Fermi paradox.
