Dark matter is matter that cannot be directly seen because it does not interact with light. This mysterious matter makes up the majority of mass in a galaxy. Although we cannot see dark matter we know that it is out there because we can see it effecting the motion of the stars in a galaxy and gravitational lensing. The first piece of evidence for dark matter is in the way we have observed galaxies moving. You would likely expect their behavior to replicate that of the Sun and the planets, with…

The common objection for presentism is by the use of the Special Theory of Relativity, or more specifically the relativity of simultaneity. The Special Theory of Relativity is a well confirmed physical theory of the measurement of non-accelerating frames of reference in all inertial…
