Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Do we think dark matter / energy are real? Or are our models just way off?
Multiple independent observations lead to very solid evidence that dark matter exists. It’s a question of what comprises dark matter.
I personally like the solution of primordial black holes. Recent evidence from LIGO/Virgo and the Webb telescope are strengthening the possibility that most if not all dark matter is PBH.
This is a totally separate consideration from dark energy, though, just to be clear
My investigation of dialectics in science has led me to understand that the whole big bang thing is likely wrong and that space-time curvature as described was basically a thought experiment. It led me to then believe that black holes don't have singularities and don't exist below masses of around 3 solar masses. This is all supported by evidence, but I'd rather discuss this in DMs if you wanna know more. Stuff like the precession of mercury, the shape of spiral galaxy arms and dark matter/energy can be explained by fluctuations in the quantum field and electro magnetism in spinning stars, which as far as I know was kind of neglected in galaxy modeling since thoses effects are poorly understood.
