It’s an interesting idea, but it assumes that physical forces are getting WEAKER over time, and that’s a pretty big assumption. It’s not very parsimonious.

I’m not a subscriber to this particular theory, but I do think model error is a more plausible explanation than magical, undetectable mass.

The mass is definitely detectable–it’s just not visible. And it’s detectable in several different ways that all match, that’s the key here. This is definitely an observation.

Dark matter is an infinite number of free variables we can place anywhere in our universe to make our current gravitational models work. Of course they match.

Can you call it an observation if the lens you are using may be faulty?

Why is dark matter given so much precedence over model error? (Particularly because we know our current model can’t do things like quantum gravity)
