#2Hey, look, it's my alma mater. Back in the news for wonky gravity physics research. Gotta love it.

At least it wasn't University of Mississippi!

They actually have some really good faculty in gravitational wave stuff and general relativity.

#5Im not a physicist.
But it doesn't sound that convincing to replace dark matter due to lack of direct evidence, with something even more exotic which also has no direct evidence

I know UAH for its production of the Global Temperature Report, which produces primary data clearly showing climate change, and run by a bunch of climate change deniers.
(Generally, not Stage 1 denialists, but various later stages of "it's not so bad" or "it's not our fault". At least one is also a creationist.)

When space expands it produces gravity? Like a groaning ship ripped apart, something snaps, when nothing is produced and becomes a place, producing a small background ripple. Concentric from the big bang outwards, like growth rings, dragging apart lights and things.
Its not a valid concept, but its a new idea, something to test, anything is better, then collecting data and watching the model drift away every day like a ghost in the night.

Exists at least one example (to be exact there are few, but this one is overwhelming when looking carefully), which could be explained by topological defect - in 2023 made photo of two galaxies, which looking exactly same, but mirrored with invisible mirror.
Sure, this could be just coincidence of very similar galaxies, need more observations.

#10Nit: the title in the article is kinda wrong; Dark Matter is a set of observations for which we do not have a proper theory that explains it. It's not an "answer" or a "solution". We say it's "matter" because it interacts gravitationally.
