> "So I too love the idea that we don't need dark matter to explain all the gravitational effects we observe in the universe." It is an attempt to explain. Just like an attempt to explain (prediction) of Higgs Boson. It was only true once we observed it via experimentation. Falsification makes sense if the theory has been experimentally validated. You can't falsify something that has not been proven. There is no one claiming String theory or the theory discussed here is true - no experimental evidence has been produced.
