It’s my understanding all the prevailing theories being tested are yet undiscovered particles.

Are we coming to the point where we need theorists to come up with new testable hypothesis’s that don’t require a particle?

Could this be a phenomenon of gravity itself?

Do you have any fear that the phenomenon of Dark Matter is “untestable”? Something like multiverse influence that would be very difficult to prove.

I for one appreciate the work you're doing. I think that really good physics can come from "what it's not". The famous one that comes to mind is the Michelson-Morley experiment, that disproved the theory of the "aether" as a medium for light. Considering the explosion in modern physics after that, it's exciting to image what we will do with the breakthrough that will come in understanding dark matter.

Sleep well and science on!
