From Mark E.:

Galaxies hold themselves to a pretty
steady state of non-expansion after
presumably expanding for a while.

.And they also rotate in a more unitary or 'non-Keplerian' manner. To
explain this, a funny cosmic superglue in invoked, i.e., 'dark matter'.
This stuff is magical indeed, being invisible, transparent,
non-reflective and non-refractive, yet it holds the galaxy together in
'frisbee-like' rotation.

Why can't it just be gravity that holds galaxies and ultimately the
universe together?

Because saucerhead don't understand simple things and they prefer to
create pseudoscientific word salads to at least have some attention from
the gullible.

Maybe gravity can cross millions or even billions of light years in some
manner of effecting itself.

Light transmits over billions of light years in every direction, and that
is a miracle in itself, considering that it goes in every direction. That
is like a drop of water being spread out evenly though an entire ocean.

So why can't gravity go in every direction over similar distances?

What 'dark matter' proponents seem to overlook is this:
A solar system has 99% of its mass concentrated in the center, in the
sun, obligating the planets to obey the orbital laws observed by Kepler.
By contrast, a galaxy has much more of its mass distributed throughout
the disc, in the spiral arms, held together by mutual gravitation. So
naturally the whole ensemble is gonna rotate in a more unitary,
non-Keplerian manner. No mystery here. The mythical/magical 'dark
matter' appears to be a solution without a problem.

Makes sense.

Certainly in a non-Keplerian manner (whatever the means).

Saucerheads seem to be specialists in creating theories based upon things
they heard somewhere from but failed to understand.
