摘要

Surprisingly, aspects of the compelling mystery of "dark matter"-the mysterious, undiscovered material that supposedly consumes most of a spiral galaxy's mass-are mathematical issues rather than astronomical ones. When analyzed from the perspective of mathematics, doubt is cast on standard predictions about the existence of huge amounts of this material.
