Reply to comment by Victra_au_Julii in Is dark matter orbiting galaxies with the same speed as normal matter? by taracus

>Do you mean a type of dark matter has been observed?

Yes as I explained two posts prior, we have observed dark matter directly — three types of dark matter, in fact: the electron neutrino, muon neutrino, and tau neutrino.

>That doesn't mean this particular observation is the dark matter that is responsible for the differences in our calculations - measurements for galaxies.

Yes, I explained that too, also in the second to previous post. Perhaps you should go back and read it!

I was being tongue in cheek. No we have not observed dark matter, as in, the dark matter that makes the massive difference in mass observed in the universe. Those things you mentioned are not what makes up most Dark Matter.
