"Properly Applying Newton's Gravity to a Galaxy Eliminates Need for Dark Matter" is an article by David de Hilster published on 26 August 2018 on Beyond Mainstream.
De Hilster argues that dark matter exists as a hypothesis because postulating something unseen is a better career move than finding an explanation within existing theory. The observation it was invented to cover — stars at a galaxy's edge moving faster than Kepler or Newton predict — is, he holds, a sign that the gravitational calculation is being applied wrongly rather than that invisible matter is present.
