You are right on many points, and I should have qualified my statement that it is more philosophy than science itself. I had little intention to have very much explanatory utility about the mechanisms dark matter. Also, I have no advanced degree in physics, I just have an interest in it.

All I was trying to say, I explained below, in a response to @JumpCrissCross. I understand it's different to mainstream physics, that was the intention. Perhaps you can see the point I am trying to make.

Edit: Here is an article that appears to discuss black holes as a possible candidate to explain what we call dark matter: http://hub.jhu.edu/2016/06/16/dark-matter-in-primordial-blac...

I realize another hypothesis for dark matter is WIMPs but as I understand we have found no evidence for their existence. On the other hand, you're saying what I wrote is entirely crackpot despite academic publications and evidence that may support that alternate theory? I think you are being a bit harsh -- but you tell me, you're the apparent expert, and I'm a hobbyist, but there's a source, go read it yourself.
