Can someone explain why 'dark matter' is the dominate explanation for the 'excess' gravity seen around galaxies?
It seems to me that we have made an assumption that mass causes gravity. Isn't it possible that gravity arises from some as yet not understood mechanism?
I may be way off base but it seems to me that if gravity is space-time density, then it would 'seem' that when the Universe was all energy (no mass formed yet) there would have been some variability in the energy and density of space-time itself.
In the more dense areas, energy would condense into mass. So maybe higher density space-time gives rise to formation of mass.
Thoughts?
