First Dark Matter, Then Dark Energy, Now a Dark Force?

[Blob]

The main annual conference of the American Astronomical Society began this morning, and it didn't take long to roll into action. In one of the very first sessions, Glennys Farrar of New York University described some startling hints of a fifth force of nature, on top of the Fab Four: electromagnetism, gravity, and the two forces that govern atomic nuclei. The idea of a fifth force has a checkered history, and experiments seem to rule it out. But those experiments apply only to ordinary matter. They say nothing about dark matter.

So first this colliding pair of galaxies was announced by NASA as "solid confirmation" of the DARK MATTER concept, but now the differential velocity is too high to be explained by Dark Matter so a New Force is neceesssaaareryry as well?

Doesn't that just mean that Dark Matter is exactly NOT confirmed by this event?

There is no logic in this argument whatsoever. .
