Tony; And so we may say good by to Dark Matter, Dark Energy, and maybe even black holes and other speculative phenomena.

Dark matter and dark energy are still needed to fill in for the eztimated 70+% of missing mass in the universe and to account for the expansion. But you are right, lots is just theoretical speculation so far.

If we can account for the missing mass, then the need for those theories disappears.-But as I interpret the lensing article that started this discussion, the degree of bending of light demonstrated more mass in the galaxies studied than was visible, indicating more dark matter was present, so nutrinos to add mass not needed.
