Is dark energy an ad hoc solution because the calculations don't fit instead of something that exist?
Basically like a made up lie sciece invented.

>ad hoc
Just read this term for the first time in a book and now I immediately see it on the latest post on /sci/
Coincidence? I've had enough of this simulation

what's the difference?
if the calculations don't fit, it means we don't know shit
if dark matter is real, it means we don't know shit

Isnt it just an observation?

Telling normies about physics was a mistake.

If the placeholder of dark matter works, then it doesn't matter for now

Reminder to the new friends that dark matter is well understood and well observed. It is matter that doesn't emit electromagnetic radiation, hence is invisible to telescopes. It's that fucking simple.

I believe the word you are looking for is kludge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kludge
One theory is that dark matter is neutrinos, they're very plentiful but difficult to detect. Don't know about dark energy, sounds like a kludge.
