Ever heard of "dark matter" ?
Some recent work has provided fairly strong evidence of its existence.
But since it can't be seen, firm evidence is a bit difficult to lay
hands on.
A bit like neutrinos in teh 1930s and 1940s. Virtually all physicists
accepted that they existed, but they were not detected until the
mid-1950s - and the discovery led to a Nobel Prize.

Again note the date.

Do you kinow what Bouw's reputation is among those scientists who have
troubled to read some of his junk?
