Didn’t someone come up with an alternative model that said that, because galaxies vary in mass, time must also varies between galaxies; and said model was able to predict the effects of dark matter and dark energy?
I’ve heard of something similar that is able to predict an effect of dark matter (the rotation curves), but AFAIK it couldn’t match other observations (bullet clusters, etc.) correctly.
Do you have a link for the model you’re talking about. I’m curious.
You’re (probably) thinking of timescape cosmology theory!

That disputes dark energy accelerating the expansion of the universe. But AFAIK it doesn’t explain dark matter.
Still, I find it very compelling. And I hope it might also solve the crisis in cosmology. At the very least it should get rid of the lambda in lambda CDM.
