Theoretical physics has been using dark matter to fill in the gaps in existing theories, yet decades of searching for it has failed to find any proof of it. I find the possibility that the theories are wrong to begin with and need to be reworked compelling as an outsider. It reminds me so much of modern medicine insisting that cholesterol must be the cause of heart disease even if none of the research to date has convincingly demonstrated it because "we just haven't done a good enough study yet." 70 years since it was first proposed isn't long enough?
