With that many gravity, why are we looking for something like dark matter?

Let me correct you;
The amount of black holes we know of don't explain it;
also gravity might not be the only reason 
-edit
I don't like dark matter. It's like the "magic dust" that Joel Spolsky talks about in terms of software

I agree - it's too "pat", too ... simple? More "magic" than science? It's something you can't see, can't feel, can't intact with, but is somehow relevant to the universe and it's origins. Which smacks of religion rather theory to my mind.

Neither can anything else, which after 50+ years of searching is leading some astronomers to question the underlying thesis of dark matter.

Does that mean, if we position a telescope directly behind a black hole(in Earth's orbit obviously), does that mean we could see and possibly prove tachyons.
For those of you who don't know, tachyons are hypothetical faster than light particles. Most people don't think there are tachyons, but that there are tachyonic particles.
Back to the black holes, since a tachyon is faster than light, it would be the only particle fast enough to escape a black hole, thus proving the existence of tachyons if found...
Just saying...

Possibly not - remember that the black hole would act as a gravitational lens, so it could act line a telescope lens and the light it picks up could "drown out" the tachyons unless they are very plentiful. And don't forget that black holes radiate energy anyway, according to Hawking.

True, gotta agree with Hawking... RIP you creepy computer voice of a scientist. Believe it or not we miss you...

Once I figured out where the user files were kept in an older Holye Casino game, it was much easier to 'bet it all' on a baccarat tie. (9 to 1 iirc) lose=>reset Then I'd lose it all back in video poker!

Nice, but can you make it through half of the Gears 5 campaign in one night?

I would be glad if I could make it in one week
