Nothing could prove it "impossible" in the purest sense. One could continually add various rules to it to make it "work" with our current observations. General relativity was developed in the early 20th century and has proven to be the most accurate way to model the gravitation. Kinetic Gravity doesn't even take into account the most basic principles of GR, so it cannot be considered to be accurate. (Or correct if you prefer to call it that.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_relativity

It is extremely unlikely that you will find an article "disproving" the theory, as it never saw widespread acceptance and is lacking key things that we already understand, as the wiki article explains. Not much point in disproving something that never proved anything to begin with.
 
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.09804 From the abstract: ... Our derivation uses both EE and the Newtonian approximation of EE in Part I, to describe semi-classically in Part II the advection of DM, created at the level of the universe, into galaxies and clusters thereof. This advection happens proportional with their own classically generated gravitational field g, due to self-interaction of the gravitational field. It is based on the universal formula ρD =λgg′2 for the densityρ D of DM...
Many of us have heard of "twistors", arguably Roger Penrose's biggest contribution to theoretical physics. Twistor space is a space which maps nonlocally onto physical space-time; in particular, lightlike structures in space-time, like null lines and light cones, become much more "local" in twistor space. For various reasons, Penrose thought that twistor space was possibly a more fundamental arena for theoretical physics than space-time, and for many years he and a hardy band of mostly...
