@astro123 Sorry my comment uploaded before I was done. It is an error to state that there is evidence for dark matter. There is no evidence for it other than that as a hypothesis it adds support to a larger cosmological theory; that of the so-called Big Bang. But that is basically a circle in the proof. A tautology.

What about the Bullet Cluster?

If the Bullet Cluster had offered not hypothetical but empirical, incontrovertible evidence for Dark Matter, at this juncture we wouldn’t even be calling it Dark Matter anymore.
