If we can’t detect dark matter, how can we tell that we’re in the middle of a dark matter “hurricane”?
We can’t, it’s just a theory, and until the theory is proven true it’s still just a theory. And the theory is because there is a stream of stars passing through our local arm of the galaxy that came from a smaller galaxy that the Milky Way ripped apart, the scientists theorize that stream is accompanied by a stream of dark matter. And so to make it more exciting, they called it a “dark matter hurricane”.
Wow, exciting, huh. So the meteorological equivalent of naming things dramatically (“polar vortex”?) has now caught on in other branches of science. Oh joy… SMH
