Some physicists argue that we do not need invisible matter or energy at all. Instead, they propose that our understanding of gravity is incomplete. By modifying general relativity or Newton's laws on cosmic scales, they attempt to explain these strange cosmic movements without inventing phantom ingredients.

Supporting arguments
- Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) can model galaxy rotation without dark matter.
- Alternative theories of gravity, like f(T) gravity, offer mathematical solutions to cosmic acceleration.
- History shows that unexplained planetary orbits are sometimes solved by better math, not new matter.
