| Dec 19, 2016 at 11:57 | comment | added | Peter4075 | Can we infer the existence of dark matter from naked-eye observations? Is it reasonable to say that we can in the sense of if there were no dark matter we wouldn't be here to look at the sky in the first place? Are there any naked-eye clues to the expansion of the universe and dark matter? Would the sky look very different if there were no black holes? | |
