Dark matter, if it exists and judging by the ways galaxies rotate, isn't
distributed right either. It would have to itself be unaffected by
gravity
while affecting non-dark matter, but organize itself into halos around
galaxies for some unknown reason.

So the dark matter theory is still extremely problematic... Hm.


Well, there's no rule that says the universe can't be extraordinarily
strange, so dark matter theories could be perfectly right. The universe
doesn't have to organize itself in ways we can figure out.

So the popular saying goes... but I beg to differ. Bio-chemistry is the
most complex thing in the universe. Everything else, incl.
astrophysics, is ultimately much simpler.

Looking at my briefly stated theory in
another post in this thread, do you think it might have potential?

Not even a little bit.

Newton is all but indistinguishable from 'truth' in the realm we experience.
General relativity is indistinguishable in a wider realm, and within the
Newton realm looks all but identical to Newton. The ultimate truth must
look like Newton in Newton's realm, and general relativity in the general
relativity realm. Yours doesn't look like either.

Thanks for your judgment, which I don't share. Relativity, while a
great theory, is increasingly having problems, and something must be
done to untie its knots, at a level that may be so fundamental that a
number of mathematical conventions and assumptions will have to be
revised. Otherwise our science isn't going to progress. But of course a
better theory must explain everything that Newton and Einstein explain.
I have the audacity to hope that my theory (or one rather similar to
it), once it is fully developed (if it ever is), will also do that, but
in different ways.
