cosmology, dark matter, revolution, crisis, normal scienceAbstract
What should we think of the famous cosmological scenario regarding dark matter? Is it about a revolutionary scenario or the result of normal science? The present paper argues that to describe current cosmology’s favorite scenario, it takes a concept based on a science build up on its own anomalies.References
