Gravity and Dark Matter

Controversial new theory of gravity rules out need for dark matter

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2024/mar/09/controversial-new-theory-of-gravity-rules-out-need-for-dark-matter

Exclusive: Paper by UCL professor says ‘wobbly’ space-time could instead explain expansion of universe and galactic rotation

"Dark matter is supposed to account for 85% of the mass in the universe, according to conventional scientific wisdom. But proponents of a radical new theory of gravity, in which space-time is “wobbly”, say their approach could render the elusive substance obsolete."

Anyone in this field is suffering Dark fatigue!

As of now many of the low hanging potential fruit to explain rotation curves etc have proved to be illusions. There are still some possibilities, but it has felt to me for a while now that neither dark energy or matter exists & we need something else. The same feelings of fatigue apply to quantum gravity, perhaps there are no gravitons.

This short (7 m) video puts forward a modified gravity term to explain both dark matter & dark energy:
