(Gravity experiments aren’t so easy on charged particles where the gravitational interaction is 39 orders of magnitude less than the electromagnetic)

Anyway, I’ve always disliked the notion of dark matter and thought of modern cosmology as a bit of a shambles. Thankfully, Bahram’s monograph from 2017 holds some hope that we are better understanding the history dependence and nonlocal aspects of gravitation which actually produce many similar results that some have explained with what seems to me a hand waving notion of dark matter.

I’m not necessarily going to recommend you actually buy a copy and try to work through it but here is the book. It’s an Oxford Press monograph.
