Many physicists think that "dark matter" makes up nearly 85% of the mass of the universe, but they say it's "invisible":

If a high school student turned in a paper which claimed "my experiment only works if you can believe that 85% of the involved mass is invisible", that paper would receive an F. But the same paper from a "physicist" gets a Nobel Prize. Go figure.
Long ago in a former life I stood on the very site of the famous Michelson-Morley experiment which helped inspire Einstein's special theory of relativity:

I predict that it will take a "Michelson-Morley" level breakthrough experiment to demonstrate that the concept of "dark matter" is BS and that the current standard models of cosmology are wrong.
Perhaps this is just such an experiment:

Only time will tell.
