so how dull is it that dark matter is litterally just black holes, formed from primordial gas with less mass than a stellar BH, but more than a neutron star, forming halos around galaxes that keeps them together.
it's nothing amazing
Does this mean it's impossible to leave a galaxy without getting sucket into a black hole?

Even if OP was right about DM being entirely black holes, it can't be impossible to leave the galaxy because light from other galaxies can travel through the halo to our planet without getting sucked into any black holes.
What about the lightest supersymmetric particle as a dark matter candidate? That theory is still taken pretty seriously and is the subject of a lot of current research

one of my strongest held predictive belifs is that dark matter is a holdover for bad modeling
our current model says there should be more mass than we can see, so we just assert that there is mass invisible to us there, plus we can't find anything like it in our vicinity
hmmm really makes you think

How do those models explain things like the bullet cluster if there's not a large clump of non luminous matter creating a gravitational lens?
It's not dull you fuckface. It's like you actually don't want to be able to know things "BECAUSE IT MAKES IT MORE INTERESTING".

And by the way, black holes are not dull. They are still mysterious objects. Just because you have heard of them since before you were born does not make them any less strange.

They certainly aren't sharp, regardless of their mysteriousness. What else would you call an object that isn't sharp?

supersymmetry is dead m8
