Concerning the 8th problem of the Big Bang, that of dark matter to explain the motion of galaxies, the evidence certainly points to an electromagnetic explanation given that the magnetic poles of galaxies are aligned with their axes.
However the alternatives suggested in the 30 problems article include that of Milgrom’s model and the notion that there is a finite distance of action for natural forces. The first of these explains galactic structure and evolution through a minor mathematical modification of Newtonian gravity – i.e. juggling the mathematics when the evidence doesn’t fit. Unless further experimental evidence can be found for the Milgrom model it merely remains a hypothetical explanation.
The second question, that of a finite distance of action for natural forces, is mere presumption and prejudice. For example, we have no reason to think that electromagnetic wavelengths have an upper limit. While not detectable with our instruments and carrying very little energy, we cannot rule out wavelengths many lightyears long or even wavelengths as large as the metagalaxy. The prejudice of a finite action for natural forces arises for electromagnetism from the persistent false notion of a stagnant ether for the transmission of light waves. Rather, the correct answer here was suggested by Walter Ritz, who tragically died too young (30) to develop his model further. His idea is that light is not propagated but projected from a source; furthermore he was the first person to see the nonsense implicit in special relativity and rejected that theory categorically.
