The Narrative of Dark Matter

Dark matter doesn't exist anywhere outside the popular science paradigm (SciPop). It's not a fact. Its existence is desired because the alternative is a firmament on the edge of space which is incompatible with the SciPop narrative.

For a hypothesis to be a truly "scientific hypothesis" it must be possible to design experiments that can test and either confirm or refute predictions which have been made using the hypothesis.
