I've just been pouring through the facebook page.
It seems that there's a legitimate discussion going on amongst scientists about the curves. The curves are published there, also.
I agree with you about the probability of the discussions getting side-tracked. !!! 346 members !!!
Should be interesting to monitor it to see how they moderate it.
I suppose if the 'experiment' gets too disorderly, they could always end it and shut down the site.
Good to see real science in progress .. in real time ... about a highly controversial issue !
The curves are really interesting ...
The guys who set up the site must be pretty confident.
Very Interesting !!!
Cheers
PS: I haven't found that any documentation which actually uses their data (4000 Rotation Curves) to disprove dark matter. That may have been a lure to get their peers to join the site. I wouldn't expect one, yet. This appears to be an experimental competitor to the 'journal peer review' system. Interesting. Cheers.
