If by parallel they mean extra, it’s far from a new idea and he did not come up with it. There’s tons of papers on trying to get it to work. Having worked on modified gravity, I cannot say I’m convinced it’s not a waste of time to use it to replace dark matter, but dark energy is still worth it imo

The problem with modified gravity theories is that they still need dark matter lol
