CERN Physicist Says Dark Matter May Be an Illusion

anonymousNR writes "A CERN physicist has a new theory explaining the rotational curves of galaxies. 'The key message of my paper is that dark matter may not exist and that phenomena attributed to dark matter may be explained by the gravitational polarization of the quantum vacuum,' Hajdukovic told PhysOrg.com. 'The future experiments and observations will reveal if my results are only (surprising) numerical coincidences or an embryo of a new scientific revolution.' Given the many theories around explaining various observations in recent times, there seems to be a breakthrough on its way in our understanding of the cosmos."

    I can't see my anus. So if my anus doesn't exist where does the poop come from? Maybe there is some quantum gravitational brown hole back there that periodically reaches into the 83rd dimension (it's the brown dimension). I would ramble on but you sir are an idiot and I have slightly better things I could do.

    It is refreshing to see some people on Slashdot suggest that science just fills gaps with unsubstantiated assumptions sometimes instead of just complaining about organized religion doing that, as if it's exclusive.
