• A Conjecture of Matter:Dark Matter in the Geometric Relaxation Framework—— An Exploratory Study (2026) · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · doi

  experiments Multi-galaxy gravitational lensing / rotation curve analysis Galaxy-scale joint analysis The exploratory interpretation proposed in this paper faces a fundamental uncertainty: Can geometric strain gradient produce gravitational effects identical to those of dark matter? At present, this interpretation has not been tested on a sufficient number of galaxy samples.

• The Transitional Gravity Model: A Unified Geometric Framework for Galactic Dynamics, Clusters, and Gravitational Lensing without Dark Matter (2026) · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · doi

  The current understanding of galactic dynamics and gravitational lensing relies on dark matter. - However, the existence of dark matter is still a topic of debate. - There is a need for alternative theories that can explain the observed phenomena without dark matter.

• Energetic Space Theory (EST) A Scalar Field Framework for Gravitational Interaction, Relativistic Phenomena, and Galaxy Dynamics Without Dark Matter (2026) · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · doi

  The physical mechanism for spacetime curvature is not well understood. - The requirement of dark matter on galactic scales is not well understood. - The EST theory aims to address these gaps by proposing a new framework for understanding gravitational interaction and relativistic phenomena.
