Dark Matter — "Alternative Gravity" Team Responds

An anonymous reader writes, "Following previous results, an international team of astronomers answers, defending the case for a modification of the theory of gravity. This article presents an alternative to dark matter and states constraints on the neutrino mass. In short, dark matter is still not a necessity, provided that neutrinos weigh 2eV. This is allowed by what we currently know and should be tested in the KATRIN experiment in 2009."

    What i don't understand is the plutonic nature of the hot and cold dark matter as it coagulates upon confrontation. The twin-mitosis experiment clearly shows a subjugation of the wrench-affect, and with it the gastronomical constant, when within range of the bibliosonic effect submitted via bionic alpha waves.

    This experiemt blatantly ignored the effect and relies on neutrinos instead. IMO, this is just more useless talk, and we really need to support the quantum phatasmajelca machine to project more definite proofs.

    My girlfriend has a wire running from a control pack in her chest, up her neck to the top of her skull, where it goes into her brain and then down nearly to the bottom, where the control box sends impulses to regulate involuntary muscular motions caused by a childhood stroke. Does SHE count as a cyborg?
