I ran across a recent theory that gravity is actually slowing time down, thus negating the need for dark matter and dark energy. It’s supposedly consistent with Einstein’s theories. It will be interesting to see what the mathemeticians and astrophysicists do with this. Possibly like the when the phlogiston theory was disproved if it pans out.
