Dark Matter Moronity, Part 3

Yes, here we go again.

Watch in fascination as a highly-educated (but none-too-bright) physicist at Lawrence Livermore commits professional seppuku. I'd offer to withdraw that tanto from your chest, buddy, but it appears you have lodged it rather firmly in place. Enjoy your trip into scientific obscurity. Say hello to Pons and Fleischmann for me, won't you?

He also thinks that the Universe could be filled with 'primordial' dark-energy stars. These are formed not by stellar collapse but by fluctuations of space-time itself, like blobs of liquid condensing spontaneously out of a cooling gas. These, he suggests, could be stuff that has the same gravitational effect as normal matter, but cannot be seen: the elusive substance known as dark matter.

I've ceased to be amazed that otherwise well-educated, thoughtful scientists can spew such drivel. Now it just baffles me. In the above quote, this man is actually suggesting that instead of the quite logical hypothesis of black holes, which has an enormous body of supporting circumstantial evidence--much of which is the result of direct observation and observed causality inference--it is somehow more likely that the fabric of space-time is actually tearing in isolated pockets, leaking an unobservable mystery-energy, and thereby inexplicably acting as localized gravitational phenomena in direct violation of the law of conservation of matter and energy.

Which, of course, is a perfectly reasonable explanation--if you're a complete loon.

The universe isn't at fault here, you dark-matter freakazoids. It's YOU. You're wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
