Sorry, that is incorrect. It has been shown there is more
matter associated with galaxies than we can see. The part
we can see is thought to be about 5% of the universe. Dark
matter possesses conventional gravity and apparently makes
up about 30% of the universe.

For that hypothesis to be true, of course we must
verify that alleged exotic matter, which cannot be observed, has a
negative gravitational force relative to physical mass, ...

Sorry, that is incorrect. The thing thought to be responsible
for the expansion of the universe is Dark Energy causing an
expansion pressure. Dark Energy is thought to account for
65% of the universe.

It's amazing how far into space people will go without even stepping off the
planet.

Don't get me wrong, It's good to explore in the best we can, but one thing
brings me back to reality. No one of us seems to be able to keep straight
in our heads, all of the details of all the theories, observations, problems
and their interdependence and conflicts. It seems that every conclusion
presented that I can have hope of researching in great enough detail,
reveals leaps of faith.

Reminds me a whole lot of the Psychology and Philosophy courses I took to
round out my transcripts. All the GREAT GENIUSES in those fields got tunnel
vision and went way out on a limb even to the point of developing their own
dialect. The lesson learned of all that, was that humanity is so versatile
that no one could point to one theory that held up in the broader range of
human experience.

What does that leave us with? Tools that can be applied if we know where
they can be used, but only if they hold when we put work to them.

The end result though, is that humanity is so versatile
