Einstein's Theory Still Looks OK

Apparently Einstein's general relativity is holding up, but they keep dragging Dark Matter along with it too, instead of throwing it into the ditch. I don't like Dark Matter. It's either mass that's too dark to observe, or bad equations, and there is nothing special about it.:

Score one more for Einstein. A new study has confirmed his theory of general relativity works on extremely large scales.

The study was one of the first rigorous tests of this theory of gravity beyond our solar system. The research found that even over vast scales of galaxies and clusters of galaxies, the equations of general relativity predict the way that mass pulls on other mass in the universe.

The new work also helps rule out a competing theory of gravity that seeks to do away with the need for bizarre concepts like dark matter and dark energy that have irked some scientists. This research indicates those pesky ideas may be here to stay.
