The only thing separating LET relativity from Einstein relativity
is the non-detection of preferred frames of reference.  The mathematics
are identical - the interpretations different.
 
Once any preferrred reference frame or effect requiring differing
reference frames is detected LET relativity can be adapted to
include these other reference frames.  Adapting Einstein relativity
involves changing it from a causal theory to one which no longer
accepts causality.  Paradoxes multiply without bound.
 
The kind of QM I support requires an LET-like relativity and
as a result things like the CMBR can be seen as a non-linear
QM effect totally unrelated to any Big Bang theory - among other
alternative explanations for several astronomical observations.

Special Relativity is brittle - LET is adaptable.

The work of Professor Stacy McGaugh is very straight forward.
If you examine spiral galaxies with nearly identical amounts of 
visible matter they should have a variety of velocity profiles 
because the "Dark Matter" required to fix General Relativity is
independent of the visible matter.  What is found instead is spiral
galaxies with nearly identical amounts of visible matter have nearly
identical velocity profiles.  Other astronomical predictions
require Dark Matter concentrations to vary widely from local
visible matter concentrations.  The statistical mechanics of the
situation is impossible - General Relativity as a general theory
is disproved by observation.

I support an alternative related to Professor Stacy McGaugh's 
support for MOND theory.  MOND has no mechanism at present.  
My theory is a mechanism to give MOND-like results.  It is a
kind of Le Sage gravity with two components.  The supraluminal
component is the primary source of gravity.  The luminal 
component is the MOND-like modifier.  These carriers are also
the carriers enabling deBB-like quantum mechanics.
