Default Dark Matter

I've been reading about this, and i've come to a realization.

What if there isn't ANY dark matter at all? What if the reason scientists think their scewed results from studies are because we don't have the proper calculation for gravity?

We don't even understand gravity, yet we're making these big scientific theories with it.

That would be strange, since the accepted theory and equation of gravity works for every case accept in accounting for the added mass. And the arguments for dark matter are pretty sound. Take neutrinos for example. It's recently been proven they have mass and this mass could account for a large portion of dark matter.

It was also recently accepted that Electrons also have a very miniscule weight.
