How the Edge of Our Galaxy Defies Known Physics

Random thought:
- Evidence for dark matter is based on seeing effects related to it's gravitational influence.
- Gravitational force can be considered (equivalent to) an emergent property of time dilation, in a way
- If one considers the universe as analogous to a simulation, one could consider mass as we know it plus a certain overhead to be the computational cost of a given planck length region of space. One could consider time dilation (and thus gravity) to be emergent from (or at least analogous to) a local computational bottleneck in the universe
- If you can only interact with something via gravity... well essentially you can only interact with it via a local computational bottleneck... essentially like how much CPU resources you're taking from each other... and well that really sounds like a virtual machine situation doesn't it
- So depending on the nature of dark matter, it may well be that searching for it could be considered akin to breaking out of a virtual machine into the host system to find out what the heck else is taking CPU resources
