| Re: Dark Matter Please consider:
Non metric math needn't have anything to do with corporeal reality of any kind.
Two different non metric math equations can be equally correct and at the same time mutually contradict one another...
Whereas, metric math is obliged to be descriptive of and responsive to real conditions.
Same with non metric space. It's an 'empty' interval between 'occupied' events - be they the station of a corporeal mass, or the existence of an otherwise 'occupied' space.
Dark matter may be a metric - 'functional' - space for which there isn't much further understanding until further notice.
