Dark Matter Exists and It’s Everywhere, Oh Wait No It Doesn’t. Who cares?

This article drew my attention because it raises a serious question. Why in the blue name of baby Jesus are scientist all over the world trying to find something that may or may not exist and if it does it is everywhere but you cannot see it or feel it? This is sound science and spending money on this will only make your world better. Because if we can figure out what is actually holding the universe together all of your problems will disappear. Like dark matter. My point here is to express a feeling, nay a belief, that there are better things to be looking into than what is keeping the Milky Way connected to other galaxies and thus makes up the parts of the Universe we cannot see.
Not too long ago, scientist called this invisible stuff SPACE. But now that is not going to work because there has to be something else there, right. We could not have just a black void where nothing exists. No, something does exist; it’s the exact opposite of everything that does exist. If your head is spinning or this has induced vomiting, do not despair. I myself have gone through six vomit covered computers trying to put this together for your satirical enjoyment.
It is fine that we want to discover all the secrets of the universe. It will eventually be a huge boon to the human race if we do. But I think our time, minds, and money might be better spent getting rid of things we know exists and are, in fact, not good for humanity. Say cancer or AIDS. Everyone would agree that these problems are real and yet no one has found a way to get rid of them. I think if we can get rid of these and other pressing, actually known and seen, facets of our universe we could then dedicate the rest of our disease free existence extrapolating evidence regarding all manner of hypotheticals from the universe. And none of us would have to worry about our academic or physical endeavors being cut short due to life threatening diseases, illnesses, and problems. Or at least the ones we know about.
