Dark Matter: Results from an EOSC Future Science Project
The EU Horizon 2020 EOSC Future project supported 10 data-driven research groups working on a variety of thematic areas: COVID-19, Astronomy & Particle physics, Smart & climate-neutral cities, and other projects tackling environmental and social challenges in Europe and beyond.
The Dark Matter Science Project, developed in the context of the ESCAPE project, brought to light the synergies between different dark matter communities and experiments, producing new scientific results as well as making the necessary data and software tools fully available.
Earlier this year, the Dark Matter Science Project presented new scientific results in a virtual research environment that is shareable on the European Open Science Cloud.

There is no dark matter. The explanation for those abnormally high star rotation rates has to do with what exists at the center of galaxies. Mainstream thought today is that singularities exist there. Most people don't know that Einstein said that singularities are not possible. In the 1939 journal "Annals of Mathematics" he wrote –
"The essential result of this investigation is a clear understanding as to why the Schwarzchild singularities (Schwarzchild was the first to raise the issue of General Relativity predicting singularities) do not exist in physical reality. Although the theory given here treats only clusters (star clusters) whose particles move along circular paths it does seem to be subject to reasonable doubt that more general cases will have analogous results. The Schwarzchild singularities do not appear for the reason that matter cannot be concentrated arbitrarily. And this is due to the fact that otherwise the constituting particles would reach the velocity of light."
He was referring to the phenomenon of dilation (sometimes called gamma or y) mass that is dilated is smeared through spacetime relative to an outside observer. "Time dilation" is just one aspect of dilation.
General Relativity does not predict singularities when you factor in dilation. Einstein is known to have repeatedly spoken about this. Nobody believed in black holes when he was alive for this reason.
Dilation will occur wherever there is an astronomical quantity of mass because high mass means high momentum. There is no place in the universe where mass is more concentrated than at the center of a galaxy.
It can be shown mathematically that the mass at the center of our own galaxy must be dilated. In other words that mass is all around us. This is the explanation for the abnormally high rotation rates of stars in spiral galaxies. The "missing mass" is dilated mass.
Einstein wrote about dilation occurring in "large clusters of stars" which is basically a very low mass galaxy. For a galaxy to have no dilation it must have very, very low mass. It has recently been confirmed in 5 very, very low mass galaxies to show no signs of dark matter.
The shape of a galaxy is common in nature. From atoms to our solar system, the overwhelming majority of the mass is in the center. The same must be true for galaxies. Where there is an astronomical quantity of mass there is an astronomical quantity of energy. The night sky should be lit up from the galactic center but it isn't.
The modern explanation for this is because gravitational forces there are so strong that not even light can escape. Einstein's answer would be because the mass there is dilated relative to an Earthbound observer.
