Dark Matter

I have been accused of trolling, banned from a Google Science community and abused for daring to question the hypothesis called 'Dark Matter'. It is difficult to get a point across regarding a reasonably complex mathematical explanation where many would rather look at pictures than read and comprehend something they may have little interest in, or to others with an interest but a closed mind. Here is the concept, without the maths or too much detail. (More complex details are available in a previous post called 'Physics, Mathematics, Unity, Gravity and Space-Time' on my profile.)

The puzzle of the areas of the cosmos (observed from Earth) which appear to have a high gravity field intensity without the commensurate volume of matter has led to the hypothesis called 'Dark Matter' as an explanation of the elevated gravity field. This hypothesis possibly arises from the misconception that matter is the source of the gravity field. If Mass times Motion is the source of the gravity field, (just as Charge times Motion is the source of the electric field) then there is no inconsistency, keeping in mind that the relativity of the observer applies when the observation is made.
 
For example, a cluster of stars in a galaxy spiral arm on the opposite side of the galaxy would have a higher relative motion than a similar cluster on the same side and arm of the galaxy as the observer, with a correspondingly higher apparent gravity field. If only the amount of mass were considered, the strength of its gravity field would appear inconsistently high, and lead to an assumption of additional (invisible) mass.
 
This explanation of Dark Matter is consistent with General Relativity Theory. The only concept which is different from current thought is the hypothesis regarding the source of the gravity field. This hypothesis is supported by observation of the spatially related fields of electricity and magnetism and the mathematical relationships between them.
