On knowledge

[timelets]

I remember, professor Searle once said something like this, "Physicists think they have the best science money and brains can buy. This thinking is built right into their textbooks. But we've just discovered that 97% of the universe is made up of Dark Matter and physicists don't know what it is. It's a general problem with textbook science: they don't tell you what they don't know."

It was the physicists and astronomers who discovered dark matter and put it into textbooks, not philosophers.

And they are actively searching for dark matter: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNOLAB

I wonder, how a dark matter bomb is going to work.

They are just different animals. Physicists and astronomers put dark matter into textbooks; philosophers ask, So what?
