Not sure I quite understand the part about information theory, but came here to say I found this article does an usually good job at explaining dark matter.

Ok, not so much “explaining it”, since nobody can explain it. But great historical context.

The article is bad since the most commonly accepted description of dark matter is some exotic particle we have not yet discovered. The article says dark matter isn't particles. So how can it be correct? Researchers across the world are actively searching for dark matter particles because most of them believe it is a particle...

Most get funding for searching for a particle. Never underestimate how much of science is dictated by funding
