Alternative theory of gravity explains large structure formation -- without dark matter

Alternative theory of gravity explains large structure formation -- without dark matter: "While altering the theory of gravity may seem like pulling the rug out from under a century of observations and pain-staking calculations, an alternative theory may simply be %u201Cmore correct%u201D than today%u2019s standard theory. Just as Einstein%u2019s theory was %u201Cmore correct%u201D than Newton%u2019s because it improved upon the older one by noticing more specific details (e.g. extraordinary masses and speeds), a new alternative theory may only drastically change gravity at certain scales.

I am glad to read that someone, at least, raises the possibility that with Newtonian gravity theory we may have to pull the rug out from underneath centuries of observations and calculations.

From the point of view of Ptolemaic astronomy the Scholastics had a good many observations that were predicted by their geocentric theory. But their theory had to go and we are better off for it.

With 95% of the stuff of the universe missing, to me, this is enough justification to abandon the foundation of the mass-based theories of Newton and Einstein and develop a theory of gravity of a new independent foundation in the tradition pioneered by Copernicus. This is what I have done. And like him it has taken me 30 years to figure out implications of the new foundation that I had selected.

The foundation I have chosen is the radial spreading of infrared luminosity. With Vernier Software and instruments I have performed experiments where I can get as much as 9% INCREASE in weight. Replicate my experiments if you do not believe me. I wish you would.
