Does dark matter exist? Most cosmologists, astronomers and astrophysicists think so, but some believe that it is a myth. Dark matter, which is believed to make up about 85% of the universe’s matter, remains elusive due to its non-interaction with light or other forms of electromagnetic radiation. The crisis in cosmology is often attributed to issues such as the inability to find evidence of the existence of dark matter (and dark energy).

We discuss the groundbreaking observations by astronomers Vera Rubin and Kent Ford, who discovered that stars far from the centers of galaxies moved just as fast as those closer to the center, leading to the conclusion that there must be unseen matter in the outer regions of galaxies.

We also explore alternative theories such as Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), which proposes changing Newton’s law of gravity to explain how galaxies move. This video includes arguments from Professor Pavel Kroupa of the University of Bonn in Germany, who argues against the existence of dark matter.Whether you’re a science enthusiast or just curious about the universe, this video will briefly overview one of the most intriguing and controversial topics in modern astronomy.
