The Myth Of Dark Matter - Can Science Change?
According to this recent article by David Talbott, published on Rense.com, which goes back to another piece published a week earlier on BBC News, the fairly widespread speculation that something called "dark matter" is holding galaxies and indeed the universe together, appears to be just that - speculation.
What puts the dark matter speculation in doubt is the recent discovery of a huge cloud of hydrogen - galaxy size - which has apparently accreted into disk form and is rotating. Talbott, the co-author of "Thunderbolts of the Gods" says that

in this case, adding just a little dark matter would not suffice. According to Dr Robert Minchin, of Cardiff University: "From its speed, we realised that VIRGOHI21 was a THOUSAND TIMES more massive than could be accounted for by the observed hydrogen atoms alone." (emphasis ours) Continues Talbott: One might have thought the investigators would pause in the face of such proportions. To get the results they were looking for, they posited a thousand times more invisible matter than visible matter, with the freedom to place the invisible stuff wherever it is needed for their gravitational equations to work. Is such a leap of faith permissible?- - -
After sending the link to some scientists who do not think "inside the box", I received a few comments. Paramahamsa Tewari says: "That's a very interesting article by David Talbott. I have enclosed briefly my own explanation from the space vortex theory. Please send to others who may be interested."
According to Tewari, “DARK MATTER” is a misnomer for the invisible “VORTICES OF MASSLESS AND FLUID SPACE”. (see here as PDF)
Roger A. Rydin has a slightly different take on the matter - he wrote to Rense.com:
Your article, “Exposing the Myth of Dark Matter”, was very interesting to me. You conclude with, “It sounds as if a leap of faith produced an "exciting" scientific breakthrough. But this is the kind of "breakthrough" that causes plasma cosmologists to wonder aloud about the state of science today. They know all too well that it does not take "dark matter" to produce the rapid rotation of a vast hydrogen cloud. Even the weakest electric fields imaginable can routinely achieve such results over vast distances.” I agree that electromagnet fields may have a great deal to do with rotational motion, and may be the answer for this large gas cloud. But it begs the question, how did this cloud come to be located in the Virgo Cluster? The Virgo Cluster is noted for several other anomalies, including: being the apparent center of the Cosmic Microwave Background; having the only known Blue Shift galaxies; and having something to do with the Great Attractor if this object exists at all. Well, I have a new idea about the importance of Virgo, and how the gas cloud appeared there. It is contained in the attached paper that I am preparing for the upcoming Natural Philosophy Society meeting in May at the University of Connecticut in Storrs...For all of you who cannot wait to know what Roger Rydin's explanation is, I must for now disappoint you - the paper is "in preparation", and we may have to wait a while yet.
