Does this mean we no longer need dark matter to explain galaxies?

Dark matter == lots of small stuff we did't see before?

Well "dark matter" was a placeholder.... like a reservation at table... maybe the guests are starting to arrive.
Personally I will be very happy to see real people sitting at the table.
Very interesting irrespective of where it takes us so thank you Marc for posting.
