1 answer

The two accurate statements about dark matter are:

  1. Scientists have a hypothesis about dark matter but need more data to test their ideas. - This reflects the current state of research, where scientists have proposed models and theories to explain dark matter, but more observational data is needed to validate these ideas.

  2. Scientists are not convinced that dark matter even exists. - While there is strong indirect evidence for dark matter (such as its gravitational effects on galaxies and cosmic structures), some scientists remain skeptical and explore alternative explanations for the observed phenomena.

The statements about scientists thoroughly understanding what dark matter is and what it does are not accurate, as dark matter remains one of the major mysteries in astrophysics.
