I know folk think I am a crackpot when I suggest this but "they" have gravity a bit wrong in my view. Firstly the force of attraction does not exist we just wrote it in with no more than a belief such a force could work. I say it can not and if you try I doubt you can come up with a mechanism.
However if you see gravity as a flow of energy from all over the Universe, as do I, little issues like dark matter and dark energy disappear.
Now don't get me wrong GR I accept as our current model and it takes care of the math, something I can not do, but I have always thought GR sort to describe the flow of space that I suggest and maybe if tuned a little dark matter and dark energy would not come from the equations.
My only frustration is I spent years developing my idea only to find that Le Sage developed the idea in 1745. The idea is referred to as "push gravity" and looked down upon and jumped upon by GR advocates. However if things "work" along the lines I suggest for gravity it would be unlikely to have "anti gravity" .
If things work as I suggest it is easy to expect the outer stars in a galaxy will rotate faster because the force is external to the system, of course the universe should expand if all this energy is pushing, and as to dark matter if the force is external that may go a long way to explaining why the galaxies don't fly apart.
But they are my ideas and I don't expect others to see it my way and don't get upset the world does not agree so I would like to think I am different from your crank type.
Just a belief.

Sounds interesting, though I don't know enough to have a go at falsifying it. Does the prediction and ultimate discovery of the Higgs Boson poke a hole in it? Maybe we should start a separate thread for the good-natured discussion of all our crackpot hypotheses, I'm sure most of us have them.
