Controversial new theory of gravity rules out need for dark matter (www.theguardian.com)

This theory is pretty neat being part of the very few groups looking at the notion of spacetime as continuous and quantized matter as a secondary effect (as they self-describe, a "postquantum" approach).

This makes perfect sense from a simulation perspective of a higher fidelity world being modeled with conversion to discrete units at low fidelity.

I particularly like that their solution addressed the normal distribution aspect of dark matter/energy:

Here, the full normal distribution reflected in Eq. (13) may provide some insight into the distribution of what is currently taken to be dark matter.

I raised this point years ago in /r/Physics where it was basically dismissed as being 'numerology'
