I can understand my readers may be feeling they have been misled in many ways by the great China virus crisis. However this crisis pales into insignificance when you realise the implications of the article below. Another great hoax? Put not your trust in men! The heading diagram is a piece of creative imagination – not fact!

Dark matter search comes up empty

by Dr John Hartnett

An online news site reported: “Scientists looking for invisible dark matter can’t find any.”¹ The so-called Large Underground Xenon Experiment was located in a hole a mile (1½ km) underground in an old gold mine. It involved a detector consisting of about 1/3 tonne of super-cooled liquid xenon in a tank festooned with light sensors, each capable of detecting a single photon.It is fervently believed the elusive stuff must exist, despite not a shred of experimental evidence for dark matter’s existence.

But alas, no dark matter particles were detected. In fact, for at least 40 years now no experiment looking for these has found anything.

So what next for dark matter enthusiasts, i.e. most big-bang believers? The plan is to build a bigger detector, only this time costing $50 million and 70 times more sensitive. Such is the mindset! It is fervently believed the elusive stuff must exist, despite not a shred of experimental evidence for dark matter’s existence.

The only basis for this faith in the existence of dark matter is from cosmological considerations.^2,3,4The state now reached in cosmology could be called a ‘dark matter crisis’. 

In fact, the very survival of the big bang paradigm is at stake here, which strongly drives the relentless search for dark matter. That’s because when observational data for the alleged expansion of the universe is compared to standard big bang theory, dark matter is needed as a ‘fudge’.⁵ Without most of the universe being composed of invisible, unknown dark matter and dark energy, the big bang model collapses. The state now reached in cosmology could be called a ‘dark matter crisis’.

But I suggest the big bang itself is a failed paradigm, and every failed experiment just digs the hole deeper—pun intended.

The reason is ultimately because the paradigm itself is based on a false foundation: that is, that the universe is the product of only matter and natural law, and that it has evolved to its current state over 13.8 billion years, which is not the case.

Though there may still be yet-undiscovered particles, dark matter—supposedly comprising 80% of all the matter in the Galaxy, yet invisible—sounds more and more like a tall story than real physics.

Dr John Hartnett

Dr John G. Hartnett received both his B.Sc. (hons) and his Ph.D. from the University of Western Australia. Now retired from academia, he worked as a Research Fellow at the University of Western Australia, and then as an Associate Professor at the University of Adelaide, developing ultra-stable clocks. He has published more than 120 papers in peer-reviewed science journals. He writes topical articles on biblical creationist science, particular on astronomy and cosmology. He now runs a private company developing and selling ultra-stable clocks.

John co-authored the book Dismantling the Big Bang that reveals the scientific and philosophical weaknesses at the core of big-bang thinking. It shows that the cosmological evidence points to a biblical view of history.

John has contributed numerous articles to the Journal of Creation, Creation magazine and Creation.com.
