Re: The Dark Matter Problem has been Solved (Pasti)

Pasti,

Yes, there are many rival theories out there.

What I am assuming here is that DAMA has indeed detected dark matter. The DAMA results are in conflict with CDMS results, see here:

Mirror Matter can explain the discrepancy (plus more).

Of course, the DAMA results could be wrong. It could also be the case that there is some other explanation.

John Moffat, doesn't he work on variable c theories? I've never understood how a dimensional constant can be said to be 'changing'. Michael Duff made this point some time ago. Dimensional constants exist because we use incompatible units. They don't have any fundamental significance.

Anyway, thanks for posting the references.
