The new dark age

I just finished typing this out (trust me, it wasn't any fun

)

I found it interesting. I hope i'm not the only science geek out there

Very interesting...though a few things came to mind as I was reading:
One needs to look at the accuracy of the current measurements. As per the observed curve plot compared to theoretical, it has been my experience that the actual usually vaires widely from the theoretical. (A look at the velicity proflies for the points on profiles of shafts etc will show you this) My thought: could there possibly be a totally different type of matter yet out of the known range of operation of current instrumentation that is acting as a buffer close to the central portion of the profiles and whose influence is reduced as you move towards the perimeter?
Also, the black holes being flung out of the galaxies was something I had not considered before. But then if this is true, what is to stop them from all merging under their combined attractions at some point and forming a super black hole?

you arn't?

the balck holes most likly wouldn't be able to reform into one "super black hole" because of their distance between each other. its like if you have two magnets, they'll attract each other (providing they have N to S touching), but after a distance of say, 10 centimetres, they'll stop attracting because the distance between them overwhelms their magnetive energy, so graitational force=mass÷distance. so i don't think that they would reform. even if they did, wouldn't that galaxy still have the same amount of dark matter? so it wouldn't exactly matter.

I also wash myself with a rag on a stick. Reality bites <3
