I don't believe they can actually see light bending around this so-called dark matter regardless of what Einstein predicted. Did Einsten also predict dark matter?
Therefore there was first a prediction based on that knowledge that SOMETHING was there giving more gravitational pull than could be accounted for by the summation of the matter we can clearly see.
That something we just label 'dark matter' because we cannot see it directly. We CAN however see the effects of this mass, this REAL mass, on light.
Because you are so far behind the science 8 ball, here is an article about this very subject, if you dare:

Originally posted by RJHindsNo the dark matter hypothesis came after Einstein died. Dark matter is a theory I'm sceptical about - the idea is reasonable enough it's just they need so much of it for the models to work. Again this wouldn't be a problem, but there are cosmological bounds on what it can be, and it can't just be non-incandescent ordinary matter - they need something exotic which leaves me wondering if they're barking up the wrong tree.

To spot a non-incandescent but very massive object you need a galaxy on the far side of it. Bending of the light rays emitted by the galaxy gives you two images. Because they are of the same (extended) object you can check that you have two images of the same thing.

Oh wait, I forgot, that would be scientific, you don't do science. Never mind.
Move along, there is nothing here.

Originally posted by RJHindsWell with that, I finally have had enough of your trolling. I will no longer respond to your bullshyte. Goodbye and good luck with your further trolling on other unsuspecting folks. Also, Good riddance.
We can't learn anything good with the atheistic evolution worldview.
BTW, you may wonder why there has been no responses to those three in a row of your posts here......
