We consider the classic question posed by Pardo and Spergel about the price of abandoning dark matter in the context of an invariant, metric-based theory of gravity. Our answer is that the price is nonlocality. This has been known for some time in the context of the quasi-static regime. We show that it also applies for cosmology and we exhibit a model which reproduces standard CDM successes such as perturbations in the cosmic microwave background, baryon acoustic oscillations and structure formation.

  1. Emergent Dark Matter

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Dark matter is modeled as the emergent massive in-medium state of a 3-form gauge field that otherwise behaves as dark energy.

  2. Nonlocal gravity in a proper tetrad frame: traversable wormholes

    gr-qc 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Static, spherically symmetric traversable wormholes are built in revised Deser-Woodard nonlocal gravity by reconstructing the theory's distortion function from chosen wormhole metrics.

  3. Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND)

    astro-ph.GA 2025-01 unverdicted

    MOND is a phenomenological paradigm in which low-acceleration dynamics deviates from Newtonian gravity, yielding successful galaxy-scale predictions such as flat rotation curves and the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation,...
