RE: Tackling new phenomena with gravitational waves, dark matter, antimatter and the Higgs boson
The dark matter is one of the physics subjects that is as fascinating as it is important, especially in the explanation of the cosmos.
It helps a lot. That is not the only way, but it is in my opinion the most convincing one so far :)
That it is convincing is why it's important :)
What I meant is that some people may argue with this, as alternatives are not excluded. We need to stay open-minded, but we have the right to decide which option explaining cosmology one prefers. At the end of the day, data will tell us which one is realized in nature and which one is not ;)
I agree, in the fields of science any close-minded approach usually ends up in the dustbins of history as the possibility of it not being the best is something that will always be there. Data is emotionless and the way to go in such endeavours.
