Re: The phrase 'dark matter'

It just means "not lit" an average cloud of dust and hydrogen is not visible
unless it is lit by a nearby star.

Junk science.

Zwicky writes (my translation) : "If this [overdensity] is confirmed we
would arrive at the astonishing conclusion that dark matter is present
[in Coma] with a much greater density than luminous matter." He
continues: "From these considerations it follows that the large
velocity dispersion in Coma (and in other clusters of galaxies)
represents an unsolved problem."

I *think* the list of properties of DM is supposed to have was not
finalized till much later.

Since there are still loose ends, why do you say the list has been
finalized? There is still much supposition as to the properties of
DM, and I see no theory to explain the processes involved, other
than that of my model, which currently excludes the possibility of
attractive gravitation since massless DM particles cannot contain
the +energy required to have an attractive force.
