Faraway matter as a possible substitute for dark matter

A review is given of an attempt, made in two recent papers, to estimate the gravitational action of faraway matter on a test particle, in connection with the velocity dispersion in clusters of galaxies and with the rotation curves of spiral galaxies, respectively. Under the assumptions that faraway...
