It's not just dark matter that doesn't exist but dark energy too.
Reminder, the existence of dark matter and dark energy are not yet proven but to be fair there is a lot of evidence pointing into these directions.
Agreed. There is a meaningful gap in our knowledge. We know something must account for the effects we measure, and the theoretical "dark" matter and energy might fit that gap. But it is far from proven for sure. Inferred maybe, perhaps even deduced, but not proven.
I am just glad that they are 'working it out' and haven't declared dark matter as a matter of 'scientific faith' ... which has happened in the history of science from time to time.
