I think you misunderstood me. I am saying the electromagnetic force can be fit the bill where we currently are trying to squeeze in "dark matter". Please be aware that we have not discovered dark matter, we don't know what its made of, its properties, or really, if it even exists.

But i get it. Thinking outside of the box is frowned upon around here. Lets all be fanboys, and fuck yea downvote me some more.

I never vote someone down, maybe three or so exception - can I look that up somewhere? That aside the page you linked to contains unscientific and plainly wrong nonsense and clearly shows no understanding of physics. I totally understand that you get downvoted for that content because it does almost the equivalent of saying that air doesn't exist because I can't see it.

That being said, it must be stated first, and bluntly, that we don't think black holes exist. If not even light can get out, how is it the cores of galaxies are shooting out massive amounts of x-rays and material?

If I was in the market to downvote someone, that last line would've sold me.

Can we please try to keep our delicate egos out of the discussion? If I wanted to see people gripe bitterly about their comments being downvoted, I'd go to reddit.

You aren't thinking outside the box, you're just spewing pseudo science about things you don't understand because the real science makes you feel uncomfortable.
