Extended Abstract

8) Dark Matter Holds the Universe Together. That dark matter holds luminous bodies together was first noticed in 1970's. Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia tells us, "In the 1970s it was realized that the total visible mass of galaxies (from stars and gas) does not properly account for the speed of the rotating gas, thus leading to the postulation of dark matter." But The UB said this already in 1955. [p.173] The probability of human authors taking this position is very generously estimated to be as much as 1/5. Actually, very few if any scientists were saying anything like this back in 1955.
