Could it be that we simply cannot observe all of the actual objects a galaxy contains, and thus we maybe do not need another theory or dark matter?

- bufferoverflow 8y agoPretty much all massive objects except black holes emit light/radiation, and black holes, afaik, are detectable. Thus there's something else that we give a placeholder name "dark matter". It's possible it's not a matter of any kind at all, but just some very smooth but irregular field that interacts with the space-time curvature (gravity).
