How do we know dark matter exists if it can't be detected?

Dark matter, making up 85% of the universe's mass, profoundly influences the gravitational dynamics of visible matter across multiple scales.

Rubin's observations in the 1970s provided crucial evidence for dark matter's existence through the constant rotation speeds of distant stars.
