Modern science has available modern technology to measure so much and with such a precision that any theory that attempts to be scientifically accepted has to match with the existing measurements. The only approach that is not "dark mater" which is not completely disqualifying itself on all scales (by not matching anything) is MOND, which is still more "let's try to find some formulas that can match at least some observations" than something that even now can be consistent with all observations and measurements. Still, where MOND doesn't match the…

> Dark Matter > Superfluid Dark Matter As far as I see, from three theories you listed, two are the dark matter theories. The only "alternative" from your list is MOND and as far as I know it has more problems than it can solve: https://medium.com/starts-with-a-bang/theres-a-debate-raging... "The tests on the largest scales give us the best tests for dark matter. And these are the ones that dark matter not only universally passes, but that MOND has failed spectacularly for, on every account, for the past 35 years. Among cosmologists*, there is no debate, because there is no alternative to…
