There are also other theories which do the same.
IIRC someone claims that if GR is used for the calculations, instead of
Newtonian mechanics, the problem also goes away. Although unfashionable, my
money is on a failure of theory and not a presence of Dark Matter. More on
these topics in sci.physics.research
