Could dark matter just be transparent matter?

I like to be speculative on this matter. Please correct me when wrong, as I love to be proven wrong. read more

Dark Matter can be exotic (“transparent”), but can equally easily be just normal matter. It is not something you have to find or fix. You did not make the mistake, you just assumed those that made the mistake, were willing to acknowledge / announce that Dark Matter is THEIR unaddressed ignorance, not something that needed be addressed by “New Physics”. read more

Yes, but can be isotropic as well. In Erik Verlinde’s new emergent gravity framework, there is no dark matter, rather the interaction between dark energy if the vacuum and ordinary matter provides extra gravity that spoofs dark matter. Extra gravity is just additional spacetime curvature. read more
