RE: No dark matter?

The theory has been around since the 1980s. It's not surprising that it could be made to predict reasonably well the galaxy rotation curve since that is precisely what it was explicitly crafted to predict. The problem with this theory is it hasn't yet acuurately predict anything it wasn't explicitly crafted to predict, as any theory with any fundamental basis in physical reality should be able to do.
