i'm interested in any alternative theories re: dark matter...is it possible that we simply have misunderstood gravity at these distances? it seems strange to me that we look for symmetry in the physical laws and so we see something we can't explain using the law of gravitation and our observations and we then assume that our observations are off...
i was reading about some vague theory of an extra spatial dimension, curved and about the length of half a galaxy or so that forced gravitational radiation into a less-than-radial, or actually straight, path, thus at distances proportional to the length of the hidden dimension gravity would not diminish as the square of the distance...does anyone know about this theory?
are there any other ways of explaining dark matter without invoking 'dark matter'...
