Your thesis poses the question, Does Dark Matter?

"Activate Light Speed"
"No, Light Speed's too slow"
"Light Speed too slow!?!?"
"Yes we're gonna have to go right to...LUDICROUS SPEED!!!"

This is another one of those “mathematics predicts” papers. But without a valid way to test the math in the real world, the prediction is worthless.

Sort of like me saying this: A horse has four legs. Suppose a hour could have 20 more legs. Then the math predicts the possibility of a 24-leg horse. Of course, I offer no way to test this possibility, but you can't argue with the math: 4 + 20 = 24.

Again, a scientist thinking that since an equation comes out right, it must faithfully describe the real world.

Well, that part about “infinite mass” is a limit. Unless you want to reverse the Big Bang, or whatever.

Speed only has meaning in a relativistic measurement. It must be measured from some other object (car versus road is a different speed than car versus the sun).

Object A travels the speed of light towards object B. At the same time object C travels the speed of light in the opposite direction away from B, how fast is object C moving in relation to object A?

If there is Dark Matter, maybe there are Dark Photons?
Speed of light. Speed of Dark.
