I'm not pushing any model. It just seemed to me that people are taking a lot on faith. I provided a variety of alternatives because I'm trying to point out that we have great phenomenology, but extremely weak etiology. DM, MOND, QG, etc.. are etiologies. We have great observational data to...

I'm not concerned with the new observations. The idea of a homogeneous, isotropic universe is too convenient. It's inconsistent with basic ontology and abstract math, which frequently fails to remain abstract. I think topology makes more sense than DM for simple reasons. We've observed...

None of the papers I linked to concern graininess. Dark matter is an etiology of our observations. It's one of many. We have great data to evidence, describe and predict phenomena. However, I'm aware of no evidence that supports any singular etiology. This is analogous to Newton's...

Why not keep this friendly? Scale is valid in that context, but awareness? Awareness is not necessarily cognition. The definition of awareness includes having or showing realization. The exclusion principal describes an exchange of information between every electron the universe through...

I said I'd speak no more about antimatter. I didn't mean to assert anything, just share an interesting idea. I can see that I did make a claim about negative time value, on paper, so with due respect, I'll back it. I hope it will suffice simply to refer to Wikipedia for this...

I included a couple of non-topological alternatives as well. http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0702146 http://arxiv-web3.library.cornell.edu/pdf/1102.0825v2.pdf http://arxiv.org/pdf/1303.0065.pdf http://arxiv.org/pdf/1004.0745.pdf

The universe may not be smooth. The distribution of matter could be a result of topology, as opposed to most matter being imperceptible.

If most all antimatter was annihilated, there must have been much less of it to begin with. I'm not aware of any reason for an asymmetry in favor of matter. It's possible that vast amounts of antimatter exist elsewhere, but I like to ponder the possibility of else-when. Anti-matter has a...

careful We cannot define gravity, what we can do is describe it. We don't yet posses a complete definition of anything. Worse yet, every particular thing we know is inconsistent with at least one other thing we know. Ptolemy thought he had great data. Newton in fact did have great...

We can't be certain. There are many ways to interpret what we've observed. It's assumed that space-time itself and the laws of physics are generally consistent throughout the universe. If that's true then our observations support expansion. That doesn't make expansion true. In fact, it's...
