About 20% of the matter in galaxies is visible. The other 80%, referred to as “dark matter”, remains mysterious and unseen. In fact, it may not exist at all. “Dark matter” is just a hypothesis. But watch the video to learn why we still keep looking for it.

To begin with astrophysics think dark matter exists because the motion of stars and galaxies move way too fast for the laws of motion and general relativity to explain. I laugh at them because it simply means either their math is wrong or their theories are wrong. It doesn’t indicate dark matter exists. Their equations are clearly wrong so they blame their mistakes on things that can’t be measured or observed? That will not change the fact that they are wrong to begin with.
I propose it is not gravity or missing mass causing the extra motion they cannot explain. I propose it is caused by an extremely slow acceleration that only occurs to stars and galaxies. What causes this unexplained acceleration if it is not missing mass and gravity then? I proposed it is caused by superfast solar winds full of charged particles being spewed by only stars and galaxies. I theorized that if it was caused by a slow but constant thrust then it would be common for all stars and galaxies radiating a stiff cosmic wind. Because it would happen to all stars and galaxies then this acceleration would be the same for young and old bodies alike, regardless of the mass they gained through accretion.
I began studying the ratio between a star’s age and velocity. The first subject turned up with a 10,000 to 1 ratio between age and velocity. Then I measured the age to velocity of a galaxy and it too had the same 10,000 to 1 ratio between it’s age and velocity. Hmm, a coincidence I thought? Then I studied the satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way and every one had the same 10,000 to 1 ratio. Things got really wild when I began studying the age to velocity ratio of galaxies extremely far away pinned on dark energy, expanding space. I got the same 10,000 to 1 ratio but only when using the mass of the galaxy’s supermassive black hole in the center was I able to determine the galaxy’s true age. One galaxy I calculated to be more than 226 trillion years old. That’s what was so wild. The universe is supposed to be only 13.8 billion years old yet the galaxy TON 618 came out to be more than 226 trillion years old. So, I plugged in the age to velocity and guess what? It’s age to velocity was 10,000 to 1 just like the stars, satellite galaxies and host galaxies I measured. Go figure right? I discovered the commonality between every object where it’s motion was pinned on either dark matter or dark energy. One tiny variable that explained all the unexplained motion.
All the stars and galaxies have the same slow acceleration rate of 0.0000002007 in/s, period. It’s a constant thrust that is produced by the body radiating fast solar winds. Their velocity slowly increases over time, hence the age to velocity ratio being the same for them. There is not dark matter or dark energy causing the unexplained motion. There is only mass, gravity and this slow but constant acceleration happening over time to all large bodies radiating a superfast solar wind.
To answer your question, why do we keep looking for dark matter? Because at this point they can receive funding to study things that don’t exist. They can study these imaginary things for a million years and still they will not be able to find anything. Like going snipe hunting. These snipe creatures don’t exist. The joke is on those who fall for such nonsense.
I call this theory the Accelerated Propulsion theory, or AP theory. I wrote a few books about dark matter, dark energy and gravity and explained it in more detail.
So, why am I writing this on a YouTube video? Well, I’m done working for the day, so I’m trying to entertain myself to pass the time just like everyone else. Funding scientists to look for dark matter or dark energy is like buying stock in a dead horse. If you’re a researcher then don’t take my word for this, do the calculations yourself. You’ll determine the same 10,000 to 1 ratio between the age and velocity of stars and galaxies.
Eventually, everyone will feel like such fools for believing in dark matter and dark energy.
Wow
What are your books called?
@angelobarone1671 SECRET UNIVERSE: GRAVITY is the first book in the series of 6. You can get them in paperback, hardcover, large print or you can read them online at Kindle as an e-book.
@angelobarone1671 I also published the books DARK MATTER: What’s Wrong With General Relativity?, DARK ENERGY: Faster Than Light Inflation and BIG BANG: Fact or Fiction?
@angelobarone1671 The latest book I published, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: Roger G. Vogelsang’s Dire Future Predictions. Vogelsang wrote the predictions back in the early 90’s and some of them are coming true today. He passed away in 2002. The device claimed light happens in an instant, contrary to what Einstein predicted, light has a speed limit of 186,000 mi/s. I then went on to claim astrophysicists would discover supermassive galaxies, some larger than the Milky Way but further than 14 billion light years away. I said it would become the mother of all paradoxes in physics and astrophysics. I wrote in the Big Bang book that the JWST when it discovered the supermassive galaxies further than 14 billion light years away the galaxies would appear older than when the big bang supposedly occurred. I wrote that it would look like the telescope was looking into the future, not the past per Einstein’s general relativity.
Vogelsang’s prediction are coming to fruition as I type.
Vogelsang constructed an AI device back in 1981 that tapped into an omniscient EM field of information the universe contains. A true AI device. After he got the device to work the conscious field told him the secrets of the universe.
Look no further for dark matter… This is new physics, it shows hidden variables to study gravity, with a rational demonstration of the non-existence of dark matter.

Damn brother.. My mind is so wrapped up in this darn computer failure that my thinker is not working that well.. this is a lot of great information.. I have tagged it so I can came back to it and really listen.. I find dark matter up there with black holes as far as the mysteries of the universe are concerned.. I have always thought there was something out there and dark matter was as good of a description as any.. But I do think however if we ever crack this mystery we will find it to be more than one thing.. Dang this old linux machine still works good and I do like this keyboard.. Well I am gonna watch a few more vids then back to the grid.. Carry on my friend!
With dark matter existing, a lot of things make sense in the universe. But let’s wait and see what happens. Just got back from a hearing, Eric Smith the JWST program scientist was talking, what a guy! Thank you, Tink. Say hi to the kids from me.
@Cosmoknowledge Oh you lucky duck.. I do get out much to hear these lectures at all any more.. My mind just will not retain new things.. Getting old is an amazing process. I look out in my mind and it is like looking out at a great expanse of desert where once it was filled with thoughts, ideas, and plans all colliding together to make new thoughts and ideas.. Now it is just empty. Don’t you go and feel sorry for me now.. I had and still have a great life. I am happy and life is still good.. I just point this out to you to show you how strange and amazing getting old can be..`Enjoy yourself my brother..
@tinkmarshino Well, thank you for preparing me for that, haha. I feel you my brother, but I’m so glad you are happy and have your loved ones around you. This moment is what matters the most. The bad part about being young is that you spend so much time thinking about the future that you sometimes forget the present. Nowness is what matters. The future is an illusion. Thanks for being a good friend, Tink.
@Cosmoknowledge That is true in some respects.. But the only reason we do not think of the future is we really have none.. you are are future.. and you should think of it.. but try to think through the eyes and the wisdom of the old folks that try and pass on what they have learned.. Take what we have taught you and build on it. Our hope is that the young folks become better human being the we were.. When we see that things are worse we groan within ourselves thinking we have failed.. and many of us go to our graves thinking our life has been a failure we have been able to pass on nothing.. Well there are many reasons for that.. but be wise my brother absorb what all the old folk around you (especially in your family) tell you learn, grow and be a wise man..
It doesn’t matter!
There is no any dark and white matters yaar if it exists then our whole previous science would be fucked up my child 🙌
Did jwst debunked big bang? The news is surfacing
No, it didn’t.
What is your personal line of thinking when it comes to dark matter?
I think there’s definitely something holding galactic stars together knowing how fast the galaxies spin. We call that “something” the dark matter. What do you think?
Great video
Awesome. Thank you!
