Take the tour ×  I came across this video today on YouTube that
presents an interesting alternate theory of Gravity and the
"missing" matter in the Universe that Dark Matter/Energy
theories try to account for.  If I understand it correctly, it
asks the question "If it is possible to space-time to be bent
without the need for mass, couldn't the gravitational effects we
see that under current theories requiring more mass than we have
discovered be a consequence of space-time that is somehow dented
either as a remnant of something in the past or just that is the
way it exists? Perhaps in a way the Big Bang resulted in an
unfolding of space-time instead of an expansion of it and the
leftover folds account for the extra gravitational affects we
see?"  I don't have the scientific background to evaluation this
theory fully and I'm interested if the theory presented in this
video is remotely plausible to someone who has some expert
knowledge of the subject.  share|improve this question add
