Abstract

We demonstrate that in-principle, one of the five solutions presented in the reading Nyambuya (2015b), i.e., a solution of the Four Poisson-Laplace equation of gravitation [or Nordstrom (1912) equation of gravitation] can be used to explain the anomalous flat rotation curves of spiral galaxies. The proposed solution does not invoke the exotic hypothesis of darkmatter but makes the assumption that our existing Laws of Gravitation need to be amended. Our proposed amendment falls well within the accepted domain of legitimate gravitational field equations.
